WIN 'Transylvania' on DVD
Directed by Tony Gatlif (Gadjo Dilo, Exiles,Vengo) and featuring outstanding performances from Asia Argento (Marie Antoinette, Land of The Dead, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things ), Birol Ünel (Head On, King of Thieves) and Amira Casar (Sylvia, Anatomy of Hell).
Tony Gatlif's cinematic world is unique. In each of his films he paints a compelling portrait of a most particular universe with its own distinct codes, morals and conventions. For his latest work, Gatlif moves beyond his adopted France to Transylvania in the heart of Romania, as he tells a story of an obsessive love and one woman’s search for her lover.
The beautiful, dark and haunting Zingarina (played by Asia Argento) finds herself in pursuit of the man she loves. After beginning a relationship with a passionate Romanian musician in France he suddenly abandons her, leaving her confused and two months pregnant. Accompanied by her protective friend, Marie (Amira Casar), Zingarina throws herself, body and soul, into a mission to find her lost lover in Romania, venturing into the strange, forbidding foreignness of the mythic territory of Transylvania. Roma life is rootless and unencumbered, but it also demands a certain kind of bravery. This is a strange and unsettling place but, too, one full of compassion and humanity. When events take an unexpected turn, Zingarina discovers that to be free she must rid herself of all ties and connections to her past life and lover as, only then may she really experience the possibilities that come her way. Cautiously, she takes a new path with another man, Tchango (Birol Ünel); an enigmatic traveler free of borders and home who speaks several languages in his single, unique accent.
Zingarina is the first female protagonist in Gatlif's cinema and she opens new horizons in his work. Ultimately, this film hinges on Argento and Ünel's exceptional performances. Willful and brash, bold and independent, they hold our attention and dominate the film. As with his previous films, Tony Gatlif''s soundtrack to Transylvania informs, shapes and allows the audience to share in the very different visual terrain that he knows so well. It is the music of life: passionate, melancholic and joyous.
We have three DVDs of Transylvania available for myfilms users to win.
