And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Neither historic nor kitsch, but Gypsy nonetheless:

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

Most people don't appreciate the amount of influence the Gypsies have had on music.

Mukade, I'd like to see that. I can't find it on Netflix under any of the names I saw related to it, (Safe Journey, etc....). Have you seen it?

Re: Historic gypsy kitsch
I think we all know that good jazz and gypsy fiddling all originated from Sligo style, that's just fact, no use denying it. I use to see Stéphane and Stuff secretly wondering the county all the time when I was a kid.

it is at IMDb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107376/
a search on the director (Toni Gatlif) didn't turn it up on Netflix either, although there is a latter one w/Gipsys named Gadjo Dilo
most of it seems to be at http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/se ... +drom+part

It is still available on Amazon Japan.
I seems to be out of print in most other countries.

I've seen it, and it's a teriffic film. Try searching under the director's name, which was Tony Gatliff.crookedtune wrote:Mukade, I'd like to see that. I can't find it on Netflix under any of the names I saw related to it, (Safe Journey, etc....). Have you seen it?
It's also useful to know that there is but a single sentence of dialogue in the entire film, so you're safe with a copy intended for any language as long as your DVD player can cope with differing country codes.mukade wrote: I bought the DVD here in Japan a few years ago - no story, but superb music and visuals.

And we thought Yngvie Malmsteen invented sweep-picking. Actually, Django invented it, but Bireli brought it into the 21st century.
