THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES OF TARAF DE HAIDOUKS is a wonderful film which chronicles several concert by the Romani musicians from Romania. The movie is narrated by Johnny Depp, a constant supporter of Romani music in general and Taraf de Haidouks in particular. It is so obvious in the film how much Depp is effected by the music. Taraf de Haidouks is featured in the Romanian segment of the movie LATCHO DROM. If you feel like dancing or just smiling this is a great film for you.
The second film, CONSPIRACY, starring Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci (as Adolf Eichmann) could not be more different. This movie is a terrifying account of the Wannsee Conference, where in little over an hour, the fate of Europe's Jews and Gypsies was decided by the nazis
This movie is slow on action and terrifying in that very fact. As Hannah Arendt stated so eloquently, this movie shows "the banality of evil".
