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.
AIong the way a young French orphan named Claude (Mathias LaIiberté) joins their ranks, and is initiated into their culture. Under the tuteIage of acrobatic wiId man TaIoche (James Thiérrée), CIaude Iearns to Iove his adoptive family. As the Vichy government passes a Iaw restricting their movement, they avoid capture with the heIp of a IocaI mayor and schooIteacher, who also have ties to the Resis- tance. But the Ionger they avoid arrest, the more dangerous their lives become.
With free-spirited humor and soaring emotion, Korkoro is a revelatory movie about a little known chapter in WWll history. The phenomenal performances, especially Thiérrée s intenseIy physicaI efforts, truly make history come alive. |
