Flamenco (1995)
Member Rating:  
This beautifully photographed documentary is Spanish-filmmaker Carlos Saura's tribute to the beauty and diversity of Spain's national dance. Using only the minimalist setting of an abandoned Seville train station and the costumes of more than 300 performers, this is a veritable feast of exciting flamenco dances, songs, and guitar playing. Some of the better known artists include Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, and Lole Manuel. The film features little dialogue, relying instead on visual pageantry, music and costumes. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    Wonderful dancers and deliciously choreograph. The movie made me want to dance the Flamenco at an instance. It's a fantastic voyage to the inner core, culture and origin of the dance. Just love it.

    You should know--or truly want to know--flamenco before you watch this film. Realize that this Gypsy culture is rooted in pain and sorrow. This is REAL flamenco, not the commercialized Rumba of Gipsy Kings, etc. It's not Spanish dance, either. No "castanettes" This exceptional film is an artistic collection all the respected flamenco giants currently in Spain--both the old and new generations.. For real flamenco aficionaos, this is superb.

    I LOVE flamenco and also dance. I was a bit disappointed with the film. With the exception of a couple of parts where they danced Alegrias and Guajiras, the film was boring.
