The title means “liberty.” The story’s Roma (Gypsies) feel their nomadic freedom being trapped in rural Vichy, France, as Nazis tighten the noose. Local bigots want them eradicated, but some citizens realize that their spirit incarnates, in primal form, the freedom that France has lost. Tony Gatlif continues his cycle of richly sited, ethnically juicy, musically vital films about Roma life, this time more tragic. Mathias Laliberté is the appealing boy helped by the Roma clan, and James Thiérrée, grandson of Charles Chaplin, has a raffish edge of mad mischief that heightens the tension. (2011) — David Elliott
