A young refugee travels from Russia to America in search of her lost father and falls in love with a gypsy horseman.
Cinematography
Sacha Vierny's painterly frames that breathe like classical art.
Score
Opera and gypsy guitar weaving through every emotional beat.
Acting
Blanchett's Lola — messy, magnificent, steals every scene.
Director
Sally Potter
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Depp learned Romani for the role and insisted on doing his own riding stunts.
Potter deliberately mirrored Suzie's journey to her own father's Russian-Jewish refugee experience; the film flopped because distributors had no idea how to market a Holocaust romance with opera and Depp as a gypsy.
