![Gitano [DVD] [2000]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+PcO7IzQL.jpg)
Spanish dancing sensation Joaquin Cortes plays his first major dramatic role in this story about a musician who is struggling to put personal misfortune behind him. Andres (Cortes) is a flamenco singer who has just got out of prison after being falsely convicted of the murder of Romero (Antonio Carmona), a member of his band. As Andres tries to reacclimatize himself to freedom, he discovers things have not been going his way while he was up the river; his wife Lucia (Laetitia Casta) is having an affair with another man, while his bullying father Isidoro (Manuel de Blas) is obsessed with getting revenge against Don Manuel, who rules a local crime syndicate known as the Junco Family. Word on the street has it that members of the Junco Family killed Romero while he was defending Andres in a fight; Don Manuel is also the father of Lucia, as well as Lola (Marta Belaustegui), the wife of another of Andres' bandmates, El Peque (Gines Garcia Millan), who wants Andres to put his problems behind him and get back on the road. Andres is eager to get his career going again, but he discovers Chino (Jose Manuel Lorenzo), a cop on the take, has been following him, with record company bigwig Manfredi (Juan Fernandez) paying him to dig up dirt on the flamenco. As well as introducing Joaquin Cortes, Gitano features French supermodel Laetitia Casta in her second acting role; her voice was dubbed into Spanish by actress Ana Fernandez.

NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES AS PROMISED IN THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION !
A great film but impossible to watch as the one supplied does not have the promised English subtitles. AMAZON and the supplier should be more careful to supply correct information to its valued customers. I would not use this supplier for foreign titles as they are not reliable.

film
Le film ne vaut que par la présence de Joaquin Cortés, dont je suis une afficionada inconditionnelle. L'histoire est insignifiante et est marquante quant à ses nombreux (mauvais) clichés sur la vie des gitans andalous. Laetitia Casta est transparente. Les acteurs en sont pas très bons. Mais pourquoi est ce qu'il n'ont pas fait danser Joaquin ! Tant qu'à rester dans les clichés, le réalisateur aurait dû insérer plus de chants et de danses Flamenco !

Love Cortes
Always look for anything with Joaquin Cortes, dancing, acting whatever. This film is worth seeing just for the Granada scenery. It is interesting because it is about today's Gypsies and not some romantic look at the culture.

bofbof....
histoire cliché plutôt nulle sur le monde gitan "calo" d'Espagne ... n'a rien avoir avec leur réalité (heureusement!)... le 3 est donné pour les moments de musique, car on voit quelques bons groupes live, comme ketama etc... ceux qui s'attendaient à voir un bon pti zapateado de Joaquin Cortes seront également déçus, il n'est que présent en tant qu'acteur avec des qualités d'interprétation fort limitées.... il devrait danser, c'est ce qu'il sait très bien faire, et pas se lancer dans un rôle de film....

Nul
Pauvre Laetitia Casta, qu'est-elle allée faire dans cette galère ? Film nul, bourré de clichés lamentables sur le monde des gitans et les femmes, toutes des putains en particulier les françaises.... Acheté juste pour voir la prestation de Joaquin Cortes, qui malheureusement ne danse pas dans ce film. Comme c'est la seule chose qu'il sait faire ...
