Mafiosa (II) (2006–2014)
great show
22 April 2014
The series is great. I totally recommend it. From this type you don't stop until the last episode is done. I am really shocked by the fact that there are no reviews here till now?! You will enjoy a great atmosphere of the authentic presented Corse for the rich mafiosi families, a little bit the modern version of Godfather but really away from it's plot. I've never watched no one from the cast before and I watch a lot of European cinema, that comes to prove you don't always need known actors to make the movie but just to choose the right type and just to let them play, one can feel that those people are really a good representation of the Corse underworld. The last season moreover is the best one. Enjoy this show, I envy you!

La cité des Roms (2009 TV Movie)
5/10
it's only the ones who never lived this that could embrace the cause of "the poor gypsies" in it

Hey guys, I lived this in my primary school years and I am not a gypsy (the word rom sounds too artificial and meaningless to me). Romans were the the citizens of the antique empire from where our civilization originates, Romanians - our North neighbor. I had the destiny to live among people from our minorities where I was the minority. Coming from a poor family like everyone around me I was forced to study for 8 years during my primary school with people which were excusing their missing homeworks with excuses like "my donkey or goat ate it" could sound like a nice joke to you who never lived surrounded by ignorance and poverty. It's a pity to show my country in such a way but it is absolute truth, the thing is that those gypsy folks does not have the courage, the motivation, the will to educate themselves. I live in the cloak of Europe, it is so funny for me when some BG nationalists or as they call them self patriots could blame and attack someone from inside or outside which is just showing the miserable reality here. The simple truth is shown here, they just missed to said something which is typical for the Frenchy way of presenting the things only from the tolerance to the minorities searching point of view and that thing is there are no victims here, everyone of this rotten society is a victim - one pushing the other to the poverty and the other is blaming and pushing from his side the other down. That's the story of our society here - a vice circle. Tolerance means nothing if there is no will for development and integration. Bravo for the realistic ghetto scenes presented in the movie.
