Winner of the Best Director Award at Cannes, TIME OF THE GYPSIES is a beguiling inside look at the education of a young gypsy in Eastern Europe. Mixing magical realism, visual humor and dramatic pathos, it is the story of Pheran, a life-loving teen with telekinetic gifts. Lured by promises of wealth, he leaves his beloved Grandmother and gilfriend to join the gang of Ahmed, a flamboyant criminal with a scam for all sasons. Pheran's schooling at Ahmen's hands is at once comic and heartbreaking. Beautifully photographed and rich in detail, TIME OF THE GYPSIES is "too fantasic to believe." Notes: Language: Romany / Serbo-Croatian. Director: Emir Kusturica. Color. Country: Yugoslavia. Subtitled. (I.A.S. now located in Old McMillan 254.)
