FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Tony Gatlif - Transylvania 

An air of freedom carries Tony Gatlif's Transylvania, like a tale in the wind, drifting sometimes here, sometimes there. At least, to where Zingarina (Asia Argento) finds herself. She travels from France to Transylvania with her friend Marie (Amira Casar). But don't ask yourself what Zingarina was doing in France, because you would react disappointed. In Transylvania she searches for her beloved husband Milan (Marco Castoldi). We know that it was a poisoned relationship, because Milan sent Zingarina packing before he was deported. Zingarina finds him - but he spurns her. She collapses emotionally and follows Gypsie Tchangalo (Birol Ünel) on a journey of strange adventures: disguised as a Gypsie, she practices boxing and cleans herself with a jug of fresh milk. The landscape is barren and leaves a lot of space. It thrusts itself in front of the characters and makes their problems seem strangely secondary. All of this is accompanied by frenetic gypsie sounds that celebrate plump life. It is the music that drives Transylvania forward - not the narrative. Whimsical, troubled, celebratory, bleak.... And what is it like, the life of the Gypsies? Expectedly hard and full of hardship. Just like life in rural Romania, somewhere in the middle of nowhere...
