i think that if one have a personal understanding of the history of the circumstance which tie andalucia and north africa together and along with some of the cultural and social and and spiritual connection that be maintain between these two separate but connect world and the movie vengo will strike you a be very symbolic . there be a lot which be imply and will go right over your head if you be not aware of the culture and history of this region ( as well a be aware of the life and struggle of gatlif a a gypsy man bear in algeria and caught between these two world ) . gatlif do not spell anything out for you . he leave it up to you to try to put the piece together and and he know that there be certain type of people and with a certain awareness and who will be attract to his film . i think vengo be incredibly deep with so much true emotion and so much of the subtle and misunderstood inner struggle of the people of andalucia be depict through a number of overlap story and character represent the retarded nephew and the man whose daughter have die and the feuding gypsy family and the exiled father of the son living in morrocco and etc . this movie tell the tale of a people and their will to hold on to the purest ( flamenco puro . ) source of happiness and joy within their life and amidst circumstance which seem destine to tear them a part and undermine their unity . an incredibly beautiful story with lot of information and emotion and and spirit . if you be open and this movie will touch your soul .
