SYNOPSIS

A Russian Jewish father emigrates to America in 1923, with a promise to send for his mother and young daughter when he is settled. When his village is burned in a pogrom, his mother is killed and his daughter is separated from other youngsters who make it to the port to emigrate. She ends up on a ship bound for England, where she is renamed Suzie and raised by a British family. Many years later, Suzie's talent for singing and dancing sees her accepted into a Paris dance troupe where she is befriended by Lola, a fellow dancer from Moscow. Cesar, a handsome brooding gypsy who works with the troupe later becomes her lover. Lola pursues Dante, an egotistical tenor who is performing in the area. All is well until the Nazis march into Paris, and Suzie's Russian Jewish background places her in danger. She must decide whether to leave Cesar and her friends and continue the search for her father in America.

QUOTES FROM JOHNNY DEPP

 

 

"To me Cesar is a guy who is not very comfortable in the world of humans, he is more comfortable, on a base level, with his horse, with animals, who are pure, innocent honest beings"

Johnny Depp, interview for Japanese TV

"[Cesar] is a pretty stoic figure ... a guy who does his best to keep his emotions in ckeck at all times, not to expose himself too much".
Johnny Depp, interview for Japanese TV

"As much they are in love, there is no way that they can be together, even when there wasn't the war ... it's Romeo and Juliet"

Johnny Depp, interview for Japanese TV


"I read in a book the other day, that one of the last instructions Hitler gave from The Bunker was: "exterminate all the gypsies" ... and this is knowing that he was going to croak himself anyway"

Johnny Depp, interview for Japanese TV

QUOTES FROM OTHERS

 

"For all love scenes there's always an embarrassment. So what I do is talk about it almost like a piece of choreography. And then I make sure we have a lot of laughs, so we laugh loudly like teenagers on a date."
Sally Potter, CombustibleCelluloid, May 17 2001

The actors/musicians that play Cesar's family are members of the Romanian music group Taraf de Haidouks. Johnny got befriended with the musicians. In 2007 Johnny appeared together with them in the docudrama “When The Road Bends”

"In Gypsy culture [Depp plays a Gypsy], nudity is considered obscene . . . so even like a man and wife would not take off their clothes when they have sex . . . its considered to be disrespectful to your own body, like if you really respect and love yourself you keep yourself covered."
Christina Ricci, Counting Down, May 25 2001

 

"He is so protective of me, like an older brother, that it's a bit weird to be faking having sex with him. But we know each other well enough to laugh about it... He always joked about us rooting around like pigs."

                                                        Christina Ricci

 

"I had two actors [for "Good Omens"], Johnny Depp and Robin Williams. I couldn't get $15 million out of Hollywood with those two people. They said, 'Johnny, nah, he does those European art movies, Chocolat, The Man Who Cried [...]. His career is finished.' And now there's Pirates of the Caribbean. The world turns just like that."
Terry Gilliam, SciFi, October 2006
