Watch Time of the Gypsies For Free

Fantastic!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Not sure why the film has such positive reviews. It is predictable in the sense that you know the main character is getting screwed, you know nothing good will come of it, and you have a pretty good idea how it will all end. You can't do anything about it, so if you choose to watch it to the end, you just end up feeling bad about human beings in general. I did not watch the last 30 minutes or so, because I already knew what was coming. There is very little comedy in this film, and a lot of drama. The drama is good but you have to be into heavy films. I much preferred the only other film I saw by Kustrica - Life is a Miracle. To me that film is a masterpiece. This one is not quite.

this is what you can call good acting ! The actors had perfect roles . This film is very genuine and excellent when it comes to make comfortable those who are disturbed and disturb those who are comfortable . It has a weird foreign vibe on how other cultures don't let their children move on with their life's with who they want. Pherphan wants to be with a girl , but her mom doesn't let her because the mother claims that he isn't wealthy. Perphan wants to become a psychic and use his powers for money. Towards his journey to fortune he cant win at the end of the day. i think the moral of the story is that Life is hard and then you die.

I don't know where to begin writing about this movie. There are so many wonderful elements regarding this film, but I will try to get to the main ones so as to not get too extensive. This film was my first experience with director Emir Kusturica, and I must say, I am a huge fan. The acting in this film is fantastic - better than anything I've seen in a while. Set in both Yugoslavia and Italy, "Time of the Gypsies" takes you into a magical reality, that, in turn, brings you to a harsh conclusion about the human form, and the cyclical nature in which humans tend to get stuck. The protagonist of the film, Perhan, played by Davor Dujmović, brings you into the mind of a young man that is altogether enchanting and haunting. We approach him innocently through the beginning of the film, as he does us. Throughout the duration of the story, we become conflicted by the choices Perhan begins to make, taking us on a journey of growth, manipulation, understanding, chaos and betrayal. The magical realism that takes place in this film can be noted in multiple scenes, many of which leave you questioning both the film and yourself. You must use your own interpretation to receive what you want out of this story, which, in my opinion, is what makes a great movie. While fictional, the underlying truth that accompanies the choices Perhan comes to face, as well as those around him, all hone in on realities that many people are able to relate to. The cinematography and directing are nothing short of excellent, and I could not be happier about having the opportunity to have seen this film.

Directed by Emir Kusturica, the same amazing director that made "When Father Was Away on Business", produces an amazing drama of the boy Perhan; An orphan with telekinetic powers who lives in a small village and joins a caravan of misfits on a journey through Italy. I believe seeing this as one entity would be foolish. Dividing it into two parts would do the movie more good. During the first half of the movie, we see Perhan living on the village side with his grandmother, crippled sister and his uncle. Later, more precisely midway through the film, we see the mood of the movie switch dramatically. It starts out as a light hearted comedy, but when Ahmed, the kind of Gypsies, drives through the town to collect crippled children and dwarfs, we see it switch to a more tragic and serious tone. This continues throughout the entire movie, as Perhan decides to Join the caravan, in exchange for healing her sister's leg. As excepted, it all unfolds as a lie story and tragedy- where no one keeps promises and friendship is built on lies."Time of the Gypsies" is an amazing visual treat - it shows a healthy amount of surrealism of sound, element, scene and story. Perhan's adventures truly represent the nature of the human heart, a persons loss of innocence, the difficulty of growing up and losing dreams.Two specific parts that affected me very personally and emotionally in the movie, were the dream sequences that Perhan experiences. I believe "Time of the Gypsies" is one of the best movies to re create dream sequences in a realistic and believable way. The sheer beauty of the scenery and camera work can not be stressed enough. The first dream functions as a transpositions of images; so powerful that it could easily be the single highlight of the movie. The second dream sequence is scenery of madness, depravity and distance from his loved ones. A lot of times, it is very hard to distinguish the dreams from the actual movie, but that is what makes it magical and unreal.After watching the movie, I felt a little bit sad. I felt Perhan had been told throughout the entire movie that life is just a mirage. Maybe life is just a mirage, and what we do is pointless. But believing in making a difference is very important. I believe Perhan understood that at the end. If it was for the better or worse, would be up to the viewer to decide.
