Our take
The films of Tony Gatlif have always represented the life of gypsy communities through ingenious and complex stories, told with vigor and warmth. In Swing, the discovery and subsequent fascination for another culture develops against the backdrop of blossoming love, gyspy jazz and guitar lessons.
