Alicia I love this movie so much

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

monimm18 I thought "Vengo" was the best movie about Gypsy people I ever saw. Until I saw "Gadjo Dilo". At first, this film seems to be a story about a French guy (Stephane) who travels to Romania in search of an old Gypsy (the better term is Roma - not to be confused with Romanian) singer his dad used to like. Turns out this is a complex film about the life and culture of a group of Roma people who lived on the outskirts of a Romanian village, and their rocky relationship with the Romanians.Being ignorant of the past history between the Roma and the Romanians and the prejudices that have stemmed from it, Stephane approaches the Roma people with his seemingly unassuming, trusting attitude, which eventually earns him their trust and affection. I particularly loved Sabina's character, her sometimes outrageous irreverence and and her passionate nature. The scene where she cannot stand still and quiet while Stephane tries to record a singer in a pub says a lot. The more Stephane learns about the people who allowed him to live in their midst, sees them as they are, listens to their music, watches their customs, the more bewitched he becomes. The scene at the end, when he burries the tapes with the music recordings, pours the liquor on top and dances around them the way he saw the Roma do it when they pay their respects at a deceased's grave, speaks volumes. He knows now that his recordings could not depict who these people were and what their music meant, plus, he had no need for any recordings anymore because he was no longer an outsider looking in. You can see it in Sabina's eyes, as she watches him, smiling, that she knew he now saw her and her people not just with his eyes, but his heart too, and his little dance was an homage to them.

alice_imk2005 Powerful, thrilling, full of life. It introduces you to the very simple, yet full of emotions life of the gypsies. It outlines their raw behavior, their spirited way of being, their unique way of dealing with problems and pain and, most of all, their charming culture (those scenes with dancing gypsies made me crave to learn dance like that).The plot isn't very consistent - just a French guy who is looking for his father's favorite singer. But this is not the kind of movie in which the plot matters too much. Here, the plot is just a plea for the director to send Stéphane, a Paris citizen, to a Romanian gypsy hamlet in the middle of nowhere and get the chance to discover a whole new way of living.The relation between Stéphane and Sabina does not turn the film into a romantic story. It covers just the right amount of the scenes; it's the salt and pepper the movie needs.All this being said,I can only add Gadjo Dilo is surely a film worth watching.

Tekla-too Oh yes, I loved this movie very much. I have always loved the free-spiritedness of the gypsies and their sense of humor in this sense is just really a LOT of fun.I had already read about gypsies and was a little bit familiar with some of their ways, though certain things are different for groups in different locations of course. In this film you get to see something typical of gypsies mourning the death of a loved one or friend -- the chest-pounding dramatics, the drinking, the dancing -- although in the film this was just one person doing all of this and in the books I have read I would have expected to see a larger group moaning aloud, drinking and dancing all night. But still, so much the same...I love the way the movie begins. Any Puritans out there who don't like four-letter words or other sexual terms in movies, don't even watch this film because that happens in the beginning, middle and end. To me it was just perfect -- and hilarious too.In fact this movie now officially has one of my FAVORITE "love" or "seduction" scenes -- with the character Sabina first saying something IMDb would no doubt have to delete if I typed it, then Stephano saying something and the way they did it was SO cute. I can't explain.Oh, and I want to mention that the person who wrote the synopsis of the story for IMDb I believe said in error that at the end Stephano discovers that no one knew what he was saying all along. That is not what happened at all. There was a language barrier all along, but he was learning the language throughout the film and as Sabina warmed up to him the conversing got VERY good since she spoke French. I don't want to give away more, just to say I really love the film and will definitely want to see it again (and then probably again).

fredrikfernberg One of my absolute favorites! It's fun, it's beautiful and you can feel the true joy of life in this film. Sabina is so beautiful and it's a liberation to see how Stephane slowly becomes a part of their life style and slowly understands that women dancing and cheering to the music is part of their life. I often listen to Balkan music and music like Cumbia one of the best parts is listening to the people in the background cheering and singing along! It's hard to come by - but I found it on amazon and it made my day :) Kustarica is good - but this is great! My favorite scene is towards the end where Stephane and Sabina goes to "the city" to party and they start to play a wedding-like song and they start to crash porcelain on the floor - by then Stephane has become a true convert to Roman :D
