Latcho Drom


Latcho Drom safe journey is a 1993 French documentary film directed and written by Tony Gatlif. The movie is about the Romani peoples journey from northwest India to Spain, consisting primarily of music. The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.

The use of music in the film is highly important. Despite the fact that Latcho Drom is a documentary, there are no interviews and none of the dialogue is captioned. Very few of the lyrics are captioned and the whole film relies heavily on the tone of music to portray emotions and the history of the Romani. Music is included from the Romanian Romani group Taraf de Hadouks, La Caita Spain, Tchavolo Schmitt and many others.
