Aleksandar Petrovic – Skupljaci perja AKA I Even Met Happy Gypsies (1967) (HD)
From Klassiki:
One of the first films from Eastern Europe to explore the lives of the Roma in sympathetic detail, and to cast Romani-speaking Roma in order to do so, Aleksandar Petrović’s Cannes-winning classic builds a complex and humanistic narrative out of the misery of life in a Vojvodina village. Ill-fated romance leads the central trio of swaggering, mean-spirited Bora (Bekim Fehmiu), folk singer Lenče (Olivera Vučo), and young beauty Tisa (Gordana Jovanović) through a whirlwind of unforeseen circumstances, captured in striking colour and intricate period detail. Aleksandar Petrović was always the most accessible of the directors who made up Yugoslavia’s “Black Wave” avant-garde in the 1960s and ‘70s, and this tribute to unruly freedom is his most populist work.
From the Museum of Modern Art:
Aleksandar Petrović’s work betrays a genuine concern for people, places, and communities rarely seen on screen, and there is no better exemplar than his swan song, I Even Met Happy Gypsies. Set in a village on the Pannonian plain in northern Serbia, the film follows the dynamic, explosive life of the charismatic and self-destructive feather-gatherer Beli Bora Perjar. Petrović shows all the qualities of a great painter, bringing the texture and color of people’s inner lives onto the screen. Featuring an iconic performance by Bekim Fehmiu, and the definitive rendition of the song “Đelem, Đelem” by Olivera Katarina, I Even Met Happy Gypsies is a landmark in the cinematic portrayal of the Roma, the example to which all others refer, exceeding even the films of Slavko Vorkapich, Emir Kusturica, and Goran Paskaljević in its sheer authenticity. An international sensation, winner of the Grand Prix and FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes and an Oscar nominee, I Even Met Happy Gypsies is the most renowned work of the Yugoslav Black Wave. Now presented in a glorious restoration, it can be experienced for what it is: a true feast for the senses, heart, and mind.
