Manoushe was painful to watch. I found myself saying if they did it this way or tried it that way it would be so much better.
The film begins at a gypsy funeral. An old man has died.
If you find gypsies interesting with their garish and strange costumes, and you like flamenco music, then this is a pleasant diversion for you.The plot is simple.
A traveling gypsy performer comes to a small town and falls in love with a woman, despite resistance from her father and other townspeople. There is little dialogue, and what is said seems to be gibberish.
This is another rare bird, indeed. The notes on the DVD box suggested it is part Fellini and part "Wizard of Oz" in style.
