This is a worthy tribute to the vibrance and sheer doggedness of the people it depicts.

A cross-cultural gem about gypsies filled with rituals, music and the practice of hospitality.

Duris' enthusiasm and humor lend balance to the bombastic yet likable Serban, and the lovely Hartner has no trouble at all casting a powerfully seductive spell.

Gatlif, who wrote and directed the film, and Eric Guichard, his cinematographer, have done well.

A celebration of the visceral gypsy culture and an indictment of the hateful racism against the Romany people.

The picture is not for everyone, but moviegoers with a taste for folkloric culture will find it a rare treat.

Packed full of exuberant wordplay and beguiling imagery, Gadjo Dilo is a strange and beautiful collection of moments.

Works on many levels, given the sincere and realistic acting by its three principals.

From the outside it looks as though there's a whole lot of noisy drunkenness, macho violence and foul-mouthed belligerence built into their culture.
