A director of free spirits, Tony Gatlif sets his camera down in the middle of young people tainted by violence and tradition. The premise is very familiar, but the eye of the director of Gadjo Dilo offers a striking perspective on a world usually ignored. One has only to see the stunning dance battles, both beautiful and impressive, to understand that Geronimo is unusually powerful, reminiscent of Romain Duris’ trance scene in Exils. The film offers stunning direction that provides pure cinematic moments, such as the escape of the two female protagonists into wild reeds. With her incredibly blue eyes, Céline Sallette adds a beautiful intensity to the movie, despite a script that gets a little out of control at the end, abandoning its initial, beautiful mystery.
