    Great premise, but potential is not completely realized. At 110 minutes it feels longer - more editing needed. Jerky camera work is distracting. While the music is intriguing, the film did not follow through on opportunities to explain ethnic history and culture.

    A potent combination of ethnography and concert film, Brit helmer Jasmine Dellal's joyous celebration of tzigane music follows the 2001 U.S. "Gypsy Caravan" tour, which showcased five bands from four countries.

    More than a vibrant experiment in ethnomusical cross-pollination, it's just great fun.

    An irresistibly vibrant concert-tour documentary.
