Title: Passionate Gypsy music making
Product review: In `Swing' Tony Gatlif gives a very passionate insight into Gypsy music making. The acting and plot are minimal and the movie is a vehicle for the stunning musical performances. Max is about thirteen and writes letters in exchange for Manouche jazz guitar lessons. Max also falls in love with a Gypsy girl named Swing, who is a feisty tom-boy. These young leads do an excellent job and very obviously have a lot of fun. The story line doesn't flow all that well but then standard musicals don't flow either. It is an insight into the importance and place of music in the Gypsy way of life. This is a wonderful movie that has great emotional impact.
