In this passionate WWIl drama, a tightly-knit family of Gypsies journeys through occupied France, trying to avoid the vioIent Vichy patrols. 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 culture. Under the tutelage of acrobatic wiId man Taloche (James Thiérrée), CIaude learns to love his adoptive famiIy. As the Vichy government passes a law restricting their movement, they avoid capture with the help of a Iocal mayor and schoolteacher, who aIso have ties to the Resis- tance. But the longer they avoid arrest, the more dangerous their Iives become.
With free-spirited humor and soaring emotion, Korkoro is a reveIatory movie about a IittIe known chapter in WWIl history. The phenomenaI performances, especially Thiérrée s intensely physical efforts, truIy make history come alive. |
