#Gadjo dilo film series
The only person in the village who speaks any French is the young Sabina, a divorced Romani dancer who is blatantly hostile towards him at first, but the pair eventually bond through a series of trips across the countryside to record traditional Romani music. Stéphane gradually wins them over by showing his respect for their music and culture and is rewarded with an intimate look into every aspect of Roma life, from a raucous wedding to a bittersweet funeral. The other Roma dislike Stéphane at first, insulting him in their language and believing him to be a lunatic, tricking him into saying rude words and even into entering a tent where women are bathing. Izidor is happy to have him as a guest, calling him "his Frenchman" and fixing the young wanderer's worn-out shoes. Stéphane believes that Izidor will take him to Nora Luca when the time has come, so he lives in the Roma village for several months in Izidor's house, as Izidor's son Adriani has been arrested. Drunken Izidor only hears the handful of Romani words and takes Stéphane to his village, determined to teach the boy the Romani language. Wandering along a frozen road, he meets old Izidor, a Rom and tries to tell him of Nora Luca. He is looking for the singer Nora Luca, whom his father had heard all the time before his death. Stéphane, a young French man from Paris, travels to Romania. Most of the film was shot at the village of Crețulești some kilometers from Bucharest and some of the actors are local Romani people. The Crazy Stranger (original title: Gadjo dilo – Romanes for "Crazy Gadjo") is a 1997 French-Romanian film directed and written by Tony Gatlif.
