Flamenco (De Carlos Saura)

Synopsis
A tour of the various song’s dances, flourishes and genres of flamenco. Over 300 singers, dancers and guitar players from all over the world appear in a documentary of styles, environments and forms. Artistic interpretations range from ballet, classical, popular and experimental dance forms, to the narrative and to pantomime. Men, women, young old, fandango, tango and tarantella are all represented. Blank screens, mirrors and coloured lights are used to create the effect of a musical/visual journey from dusk to dawn.
