	n: 19:00 - 22:00 hrs\nTickets: € 3\n\nTIME OF THE GYPSIES 1988\n(Dom za ve
	šanje)\nDirected by Emir Kusturica\n140 minutes\nMostly in Serbo-Croatian\
	, with English subtitles\n\nThis is the legendary film from former Yugosla
	via\, and the one that kick-started\nthe career of Emir Kusturica (Undergr
	ound\, Black Cat White Cat). At the\nbeginning of the film\, a tale is tol
	d about how God came to Earth but couldn't\nstand the gypsies. Always marg
	inalized\, and surviving in utter poverty\, the\ngypsy (or Roma\, or Roman
	i) communities live pretty harsh and chaotic lives. You\ncan see that in t
	his flick\, but you also see the poetry\, humor and magic.\n\nThis is the 
	film that put Yugoslavia on the map of world cinema in the 80s\, and\nrigh
	tly so. It embraces a kind of magic realism\, and often blurs the line\nbe
	tween reality and dream sequences. In a film like this\, dreams are a part
	 of\nlife. This sense of illumination is only enhanced by the gorgeous Bal
	kan music\nof Goran Bregović - one of the most famous soundtracks ever com
	posed. Time of\nthe Gypsies is an epic film with a broad scope\, and altho
	ugh it centers on\ncertain characters\, it also takes in an entire communi
	ty and their spirit.\n\nOne strand of the narrative is about a young man w
	ith special powers\, and how\nthis gift ruins his life. But it is about so
	 much more than that\, because it's\nbursting at the seams with both life 
	and death. Hilarious and witty\, absurd and\ninsane\, with elements of Fel
	lini and Tarkovsky alike. The cinematography is also\npowerful and lucid\,
	 making this movie a tour de force both thematically and\naesthetically. I
	t's the kind of film that weaves its way deep into your soul\,\nand for so
	me\, it's a life-changing experience. A classic of European cinema\, and\n
	one that reveals the dullness and lack of imagination in modern American m
	ovies.\nA real beauty... full of fire and gypsy humor\, making it perfect 
	for a summer\nnight.\n\nCINEMA DÉRIVE - ventilator space\nOvertoom 301\, 2
