Latcho Drom
[1993, France, documentary musical, 1h 43m, U]
Latcho Drom [Safe Journey] is a legendary and critically acclaimed musical documentary by director Tony Gatlif, winner of the Un Certain Regard award at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.
It traces the geographic and cultural migration of the Romany people from India to Spain, told through musicians and dancers of India, Egypt, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, France, and Spain, and has been definied by many as a once in a lifetime cinematic extravaganza that stands in a class of its own.
Review: “Beautifully photographed and wonderfully recorded. I thought I was going to see a typical musical documentary, but boy was I wrong.” —David Byrne
