In Korkoro—which is Romany for “freedom”—it’s 1943 in
France, and a rope of gypsies, ever on a run from a Nazis,
arrive in a tiny encampment underneath Vichy control and are greeted with
suspicious hostility. When they save a life of Theodore, the
town’s mayor (Marc Lavoine), he becomes their one friend, besides a
sympathetic schoolteacher, Mlle. Lundi (Marie-Josée Croze), who
secretly works for a Resistance.

Writer-director Tony Gatlif, who also worked on a song score,
has hobo blood himself, and is apparently deeply influenced by this
plea for concept understanding. But his simplistic, sentimental
handling of a theme keep we during arm’s length from identifying
with a predicament of these stout souls who attempted to challenge a Nazis.
Much of a film focuses on one gypsy, Taloche (James Thiérée), one
of those musical madmen dear by receptive filmmakers who are
often such a hearing for a audience. Just when we are about to
become intent by a story, there are approach too many scenes of
Taloche cavorting wildly, using by fields in an enjoyment of
God-knows-what, as if perplexing to physically consolidate a movie’s title
in a many literal, unchanging way. We never get to know a other
gypsy group in his tribe—to a man, they are gruntingly grungy, macho
types. As for a eternally baboushka-ed women, forget about it:
There is no clarity of what their lives are like, detached from
constantly stirring puzzling pots of food and clucking over their
hard lots.

The bad diagnosis of gypsies is an ongoing problem, generally in
Europe. This author recalls once attending a hobo unison in a
Prague outside courtyard, that was terrifyingly curtailed by
bricks being thrown from adjacent buildings. It brought one
literally face-to-face with a hardships these people can endure
on a daily basis. Unfortunately, nonetheless Korkoro is often
visually pleasing in a country landscaping, Gatliff’s imagination
is too compelled by stereotypes and a excess of plain lousy
conceits to do his theme justice.

Lavoine gives one of those impossibly good, eminent Gregory Peck-ish
performances, yet Croze does conduct to communicate some complexity in
her underwritten part. Shameless Gatlif also includes an adorable
orphan boy, P’tit Claude (Mathias Laliberté, a good small actor),
who chooses to tab along with a gypsies on their persecuted
odyssey, even yet he does not share their Nazi-villified blood.
This tough small waif is right out of Chaplin’s The Kid,
and we beheld too how Thiérée mostly employs certain whimsical,
Chaplinesque earthy mannerisms, some-more twee than truly effective.
And damn! Wouldn’t we know that he turns out to be a Little
Tramp’s grandson (as good as a great-grandson of Eugene O’Neill)?
One has to doubt Thiérée’s casting when there are definitely
Romany actors around who could have finished a job, like Eugene Hutz,
so charismatic in Madonna’s
Filth and Wisdom.
