...gypsies' heritage of violence and tragedy. In the process, he provides the viewer with astonishing glimpses of a rapidly vanishing life. Like the film, Bora lacks central coherence, but his days are not without a primitive beauty-the wide, unspoiled farm fields, the medieval pageantry of the Serbian Orthodox Church services, the umber, smoldering faces of the gypsy women...

Representatives of the "new churches" of Africa and Asia want the council to take a strong stand on such questions as economic "colonialism" and nuclear armaments. But the numerically potent Orthodox churches of Eastern Europe and the Near East, says one council staffer, "don't give a hoot about secular problems...
