Angelo My Love is a semidocumentary study of gypsy life in New York. Real-life gypsy lad Angelo Evans engagingly plays himself: a charming street hustler and con artist.

Personally financed by Robert Duvall (whose brothers appear in one delightful sequence), Angelo My Love is a mesmerizing glimpse at a lifestyle often misunderstood and misrepresented by the American mainstream.

The film is also concerned with such perceptual phenomena as color-space, “false tones” caused by varying black-white alternations of simultaneously seen rhythms set up by multiple repetitive actions, and the use of image outlines as “containers” for other imagery. Sort of a working notebook, which is continued in Easyout and Down Wind.
