The film debuted at the Unifrance French Film Festival in Japan 1995, and premiered in France April 17, 1996. Background The film's star, Ovidiu Balan, was 11 when the film was shot. He is a Romanian Gypsy who was taken under the director's wing with help of the French government Gatlif created the film as a work on the themes of the "restless and free" gypsy, in contrast to the notion of settlements proposed for Sinti and Roma populations in the EU.

Synopsis The movie follows an orphan boy surviving in Nice through the kindness of strangers and his own ingenuity. One day Mondo (Ovidiu Balan) appears on the stre ...

Mondovino
''Mondovino'' () is a 2004 documentary film on the impact of globalization on the world's different wine regions written and directed by American film maker Jonathan Nossiter. It was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, where All Dogs won the Palm Dog award, and a César Award. The film explores the impact of globalization on the various wine-producing regions, and the influence of critics like Robert Parker and consultants like Michel Rolland in defining an international style. It pits the ambitions of large, multinational wine producers, in particular Robert Mondavi, against the small, single estate wineries who have traditionally boasted wines with individual character driven by their terroir. ''Mondovino'' was originally intended to be a two-month affair as a break between feature projects upon the completion of Nossiter's film '' Signs and Wonders'' (2000). The film gave Nossiter a chance to utilize his knowledge as a trained sommelier from his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
