| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzUnusual, moving and original tragic-comedy drama. |
| User ReviewCameron KEmir Kusturica's epic/absurdist/gangster/fantasy/comedy film may not be for all tastes (some of the folks I saw it with were troubled by length, not including myself) but those who click with it will find a bizarre blend of emotions and tones that actually manages to work beautifully. Though a Serbian film, it's feel is actually a combination of Spanish surrealism (think Bunuel and Dali) and Italian drama (think Leone and Bertolucci), though the a comparison may also be made to Osamu Tezuka's masterpiece Buddha through it's combination of humanistic themes of heartbreak and loss and its very cartoonish sense of caricature (these crazy gypsies are supposed to be humanity itself, after all). And did I mention the very Eastern-European sense of poverty and generational strife? Ey-ey-ey.... Really, I could pull out a thousand comparisons, the tone of this film is so quirky. Yet, it is a thought provoking epic at its core, about the baggage carried from generation to generation. Highly recommended. |

| User ReviewVictoria TGrew up with Kusturica's movies. Enough said. |
| User ReviewAllix DExciting film, It covers love, revenge, marriage, crime and happiness with a surreal themes. The Soundtrack by Goran BregoviÄ? wraps it with sentimentality. I highly recommend anyone who has a love for European films to watch it. |
| User ReviewGokmen Sgoran bregoviç ile aÄ?za dolanıp, beyinlere kazınan bir melodi ve kamerada emir kusturica, müthiÅ? bir film; çingeneler zamanı. "kendime yalan söylemeye baÅ?ladıÄ?ımdan beri kimseye inanmıyorum" |
| User ReviewArian Gmagical movie about life in a gyspie village(in former yugoslavia).Goran bregovic' music ties in beautifully with the surreal element of the film.'Ederlezi' is the romani version of the serbian original about being away from your loved one on that sacred day. Next to 'when father was away on business' probably kusterica's best film. |
| User ReviewSanem STime of the Gypsies tells the story of a young Romani man with magical powers who is tricked into engaging in petty crime. It is widely considered to be one of Kusturica's best films. |
