This early Russian short feature is lively, unpredictable, and worth seeing. The story centers on a camp of gypsies, and in filming it they actually used a band of gypsies, rather than professional actors. This seems to give some energy to the story. It was also filmed outdoors, and the photography makes good use of the setting. While in some respects unrefined, it uses its resources well, and shows some creativity.
The story starts with a young gypsy woman who has found a lover, and then follows the consequences of their relationship. It's a fairly simple story, and it is also the general kind of story that was relatively common (though usually with a different kind of setting) in the era. But while "Drama in a Gypsy Camp Near Moscow" treats a serious subject, it avoids the common hazards of seeming heavy, preachy, or contrived. It also contains a good amount of action for such a short running time. Despite the inexperience of the cast and crew, it compares relatively well with similar movies of its era.
