Description
Frank Pierson's energetic and ambitious film KING OF THE GYPSIES is a fascinating saga of three generations of a violent Romani family. Eric Roberts makes an impressive screen debut as Dave, grandson of the aging King Zharko, who is chosen by him to lead the clan at his death. Dave's only inclination is to join the American mainstream, but he knows that the mantle of Romani power cannot be taken lightly or denied. Based on the best-selling non-fiction book by Peter Mass (author of *Serpico*), KING OF THE GYPSIES is a compelling and realistic depiction of life inside the mysterious Roma culture. Nominated for Best Motion Picture Acting Debut - Male (Eric Roberts) at the **Golden Globes**.
