3.5/4
The layering of painting, stagecraft, music, dance, and film does justice to the subject. Go to Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 11/26/2014
You don't have to speak the language to get drawn into the captivating performances - or set your toes tapping. Go to Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times 11/20/2014
Mr. Saura's museum of dance lacks subtitles or lengthy explanations. This keeps the visuals fluid and intact, but even unambiguous flamenco could use some translation of lyrics. Go to Full Review Adolfo C. Martinez La Nación (Argentina) 06/22/2016
With a camera that shows every movement of the artists, the films transforms itself into a parade of the most pure and authentic Andalusian art. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Carlos Boyero El Pais (Spain) 06/22/2016
The visual aesthetic is powerful, with a visual language that's strong and elegant. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jordi Batlle Caminal La Vanguardia (Spain) 06/22/2016

05/19/2016 Impressive cinematography and sound. Gives the viewer a broad view of Flamenco. See more 12/05/2014 Horrible bore. Just one dance after another without dialogue, and the passionate songs come without subtitles so we don't understand what the passionate singer is singing about. Avoid this turkey. See more 12/29/2010 This is not really a movie more like a series of music videos, some with dancing performances, some without. If you like flamenco, this is for you. Be prepared though, while the first few songs will introduce you rather lightly to the theme, you will soon come to the point where you can find out how far your love to flamenco goes - a journey well worth it. See more 01/13/2010 Maybe if I actually could dance the Flamenco, I would be able to appreciate it more. Dull to a non dancer. See more 08/16/2009 very beautiful...makes me realize that my trip to Spain was incomplete. See more 10/15/2008 as a performance film it's a masterpiece See more Read all reviews
