just when it seem that cinema have descend yet again into the deep abyss of zero plot combine with ton of special effect perform by pretty boy and pop tart with no act ability whatsoever to disguise the fact that it be trash and something new come along to uplift the entire sorry state of modern film and restore the discerning audience faith in the true art of the cinema . i attend just such a performance at the 24th august 2005 premiere screen of gypo in the uk at the edinburgh international film festival ( eiff ) and find it to be a powerful dramatic piece ( the first british one ) from the recent dogme genre of film making . accord to it manifesto and dogme rule reject special effect and script and formulaic acting and and film all scene in ambient light to make the actor rather than post production addition drive the plot . tell from the point of view of the wife helen and the husband paul and the czech immigrant tasha and the story of the disintegration of a working class british family from margate while encounter newly arrive refugee immigrant and make for some gritty and grip entertainment . a the film cover the same event from three differ point of view and the plot be gradually flesh out and bring to a most surprising conclusion . nothing be a it originally appear . be prepare to be surprised and absorbed completely in the unfolding and many layered story . pauline mclynn and usually know for her comedic acting in the uk and give a tour de force drama performance a the frustrated and ineffective feeling wife helen . one feel her frustration when her husband and teenage daughter use her in various way and make fun of her attempt to find her inner creative self in sculpture class . when she meet tasha and we be allow to see her caring and compassionate side in reach out for those less fortunate still . paul mcgann portray the simmering angry and repressed and frustrated breadwinner who hat change yet despise his limited and impoverished and meaningless existence of do carpet installation day job . alternate between stony silence and lash out in bigoted epithet at gypos whom he feel ( incorrectly ) take his job and mcgann portray a total bastard with whom one may still feel some sympathy . perhaps and he might have fill some of the silent scene with more line and but his performance be generally quite solid . relative act newcomer chloe sirene and actually london born and also give a fantastic and completely convincing performance a the romany czech refugee and tasha and struggle against ethnic hatred and pursue male relative to gain british citizenship and independence and and find her way in an impoverished and hostile area . even though a teen the age of helen daughter and she show great strength and resilience in the face of great adversity . the support cast also give very solid performance that add texture to the develop story line . hopefully and this excellent film will make it way into american theater and at the very least the art theater circuit and in the next year . this deserving film definitely should be add to everyone must see list .
