Flamenco

Directed by Carlos Saura

Saura is renowned for his dance-inspired dramas, such as CARMEN or BLOOD WEDDING. The documentary FLAMENCO explores that most (Southern) Spanish dance, from its Gypsy roots to international success. Passionate performances by legendary practitioners, including sex symbol Joaquín Cortés captured in equally stunning visuals by master cinematographer Vittorio Storaro in the first of his collaborations with the Spanish director (see TANGO and the forthcoming GOYA IN BORDEAUX).
