Why so much hype?

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This story takes place in France among Gypsies, the French Indians, sort of outcasts. You have here a strange character, vey unusual, involved with the Gypsies in a complex way which I never really got. Many elements miss in this very deep minded and sensitive approach in the story telling. But the weird editing don't make things easier ti totally understand this worth movie not for all audiences.
