Tony Garif was born in Algiers in 1948. His parents were Algerians and Gypsies. His blood relationship became the inspiration for most of his movies. His second work, La terre au ventre ( 1978), is to show the Algerian war, and his more films are about Gypsies. As the pride of Gypsies, this director who has gained international reputation focuses more on the lives of Gypsies. It is a kind of compassion for marginalized people. No, it is not only a cry for the suffering of the nation, but also no excitement. The political intent of the national "spiritual", his films are more of a "discovery". His bloodline gives him the opportunity to penetrate the level of the national soul. He speaks out what he has discovered in a detached manner. , To tell the world that more often, he used the mouth to tell people from the mainstream society, borrowed their eyes to discover the edge, and borrowed their mouths to tell the bitterness. In "Swiss", it is the summer vacation. A white child, and in this "Only Love Strangers", it is a young Stephen from Paris.
This movie should be translated as "Dangerous Stranger", the current translation makes the name lose some weight. Stephen is from Paris. He found a tape from his father's remains, which was a mysterious gypsy hymn. As if he was inspired, he went to Romania alone to find a mysterious singer. In winter, he came to the Gypsy colony. Through his travels, he told us about such a different life on the edge. So we saw that Gypsies kept swearing, especially women, they scolded him in the most vulgar language, with a wicked smile on their faces, but in Stephen’s eyes, they were very friendly, and he smirked at them. Because of the inability to communicate, he was almost treated as a dangerous lunatic. This is the origin of the film's name, Dangerous Stranger. Later, this stranger really brought disaster and turned the dangerous statement into a prophecy.
Enthusiastic gypsies seem to be able to accept anyone. They quickly accepted Stephen, they entertained him, kept him, and helped him. Finally Stephen decided to stay and started to get in touch with the best in this wilderness as a wind picker. Singer, he recorded and listened at the same time, their singing is so sad, and their dance is so unrestrained. Shabina, a young widow and dancer, who knew some French because she had wandered to Belgium and became Stephen's guide and lover. She was so passionate and unrestrained, she seemed to be enough to melt the ice.
This is a movie with a less compact plot. Everything seems to be just a daily life. Stephen bought a second-hand Lada with the money sent from home so that they can visit artists a little further away. He saw him. How did my friend Camilla mourn his dead colleague, he was so sad that he danced before the grave of the deceased; the accordionist sang a spiritual song of mourning, moving all listeners; they came to the nearest town, here There is a dance hall where people pay money for a wonderful performance; the pub in the town is full of Romanians, Camilla's son was wrongly imprisoned, and Camilla calls the people who arrested his son "they"; the town The wealthy people in China marry their daughters and invite gypsy bands. It shows that "they" do lead a different life. It is worth mentioning that the Gypsies live in straw sheds or even canvas tents, without electricity and running water. , But they looked too clean. There were no black nails and cracked palms, the color of the bedding was pure, and the woman's skin was fair. Shabina was the most beautiful one.
All of the above seems to be documentary. There is no plot or conflict. The clues to find the mysterious singer are in ambush. Accompanied by such a peaceful picture of the life of a Gypsy, it just unfolds, even in Camilla’s son. After being released from prison, the joyful Stephen and Shabina met wildly in the jungle. The beautiful scenes of them running naked and chasing made us mistakenly think that this is an idyllic movie, but wrong, the Gypsies are destined to not have idyllic songs. Yes, their tragedies are inevitable.
Camilla's son was preparing to demonstrate to the Romanian who framed him and knocked down a strong guy with a glass. He was chased and ran back to the village to hide in an attic, which brought disaster to the village. The Romanians set fire to the village, while Camilla's son was killed in the flames. Such tragedies provide a blood-red footnote for the overall tragedy of the Gypsies. They are niche, marginal and difficult to be accepted everywhere. They must deal with many environmental variables ingeniously. Shen, it will lead to catastrophe. In the movie, the children in Gypsy villages seem to have been trained in disasters. When the fire ignited, they ran to the woods in unison, crying loudly, showing that this kind of thing seemed to happen. It often happens, and there must be mothers who lament and exhort them over and over again, so that the children will have a uniform action. I guess that the simple plot of the movie suddenly has a strong tension. In the movie, sorrow extinguished Stephen's heart. In the final fantasy, he drove to a landmark, dug a pit to bury all his tapes, he followed Camilla's way to sacrifice wine, and danced in sorrow in front of the tomb of bitter singing.
