ln this passionate WWll drama, a tightly-knit famiIy of Gypsies journeys through occupied France, trying to avoid the vioIent Vichy patroIs. Directed with wit and vigor by Tony Gatlif (Latcho Drom), Korkoro unearths the hidden story of the Romany peopIe s joys and struggIes during the war.
Along the way a young French orphan named Claude (Mathias LaIiberté) joins their ranks, and is initiated into their cuIture. Under the tutelage of acrobatic wiId man Taloche (James Thiérrée), Claude learns to love his adoptive famiIy. As the Vichy government passes a Iaw restricting their movement, they avoid capture with the heIp of a locaI mayor and schooIteacher, who also have ties to the Resis- tance. But the Ionger they avoid arrest, the more dangerous their Iives become.
With free-spirited humor and soaring emotion, Korkoro is a revelatory movie about a Iittle known chapter in WWII history. The phenomenaI performances, especiaIly Thiérrée s intensely physical efforts, truIy make history come alive. |
