Violins singing, skirts a-whirling, brass players calling and coach wheels turning.
One of the last films I saw in France was Gypsy Caravan, "le Buena Vista Social Club de la musique Gypsy." Offering a celebration of Romany musical culture -an umbrella larger than you might think and used here to cover flamenco, gyspsy violin, Indian folk music, jazz and brass bands - the film's gentle portraits of memorable characters and bursts of colourful music lodge themselves in the mind. Maybe this film won't change the world, but it warms the heart.
