Korkoro/Liberté/Freedom .. Tony Gatlif

1st of my films of the festival, on Friday Aug. 28 .. a new one by Tony Gatlif ..

Korkoro/Liberté/Freedom

1943, occupied France .. a Rom family .. a French boy whose parents had "disappeared" and who has joined them .. a veterinarian who helps them, a schoolteacher who is also a member of the resistance .. some collaborators .. those with whom they "collaborated" .. there are those who are evil, those who are Just, and those who are simply innocent .. there are also poplars ..

Gatlif was there .. he not so much introduced the film as bonded with the audience ..and the audience bonded right back ..

from my perspective, Gatlif has done it again .. another remarkable movie .. it it happens to play near you, try to get to it .. otherwise, when the dvd comes out, get it from netflix and invite all your friends ..
