Time of the Gypsies, is a film of art the director Emir Kusturica incorporates many details into the film that makes it captivating. The structure of the film is very interesting it begins as a comedy and transitions into being a tragedy. Kusturica tells a story about a boy name Perhan who is the protagonist character that has telekinetic powers, he was raised by his grandmother and has a little sister; the audience follows his journey of his life experiences and choices . Magical realism is demonstrated through out the film, for example, when Perhan and his little sister are in the backseat of the car they look through the back window and immediately Perhan and his sister spot a wedding veil flowing through the air it seem as if the veil was traveling with them. Another example is after Ezra delivers their baby she dies but then begins to levitate in the air and it was symbolic because her levitation was giving the message to Perhan that he is the father of their child not Ahmed. In addition, it also seems as her levitation was showing that the baby possibly has magical powers as well. Something that is very interesting is the way the film ends, Perhan goes to Ahmed's wedding to seek revenge, which is him using his telekinetic powers to kill Ahmed.However, since he does kill Ahmed, it leads to Ahmed's wife deciding to murder Perhan which results in Perhan death. In contrast, in the beginning of the film it starts off with a wedding scene but the scene is more comedic; therefore, it was very interesting how Kusturica structures both scenes into being very dynamic.
