Gypo
GYPO is a brilliantly crafted story, and is a film which could be one of the most important made this year.
With the current debates over immigration this story which considers the plight of people seeking asylum in Britain could not have come to the big screen at a better time.
Paul (Paul McGann) is on the edge. Sick, tired, run down – and and inability to look beyond the rim of a can of booze – has given him the need to lash out at some one, something, and turned him into a bigot.
Helen (Pauline McLynn) is downtrodden, desperate to flee the daily toil of her life with Paul, desperate to find something meaningful in her life.
But when their daughter becomes friendly with Tasha (Chloe Sirene), a Romany Czech refugee who has fled to England and is now waiting for a British passport, the family are forced to face up to their deeply-held beliefs and ultimately come to terms with their ignorance. |
