Movie Reviews of Flamenco
Movie Review: Ole!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent view of the different styles of Flamenco and an excellent focus on the collaboration between the "bailaoras" and "cantaoras" of Andalusia. If you are looking for something that gives you the flavor and evokes the true spirit of falmenco...this is an excellent production. Ole!Movie Review: For flamenco lovers!
Summary: 4 Stars
Saura is always very good at stories about the world of dance and this one is a real must for those who admire flamenco.Movie Review: Not what I thought...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have listened to flamenco music all my life..I was born in Spain, and I'm telling you that this tape is not the true flamenco you would find on the streets of sevilla, or anywhere else in the south. ALso did not have enough dancing, which is the main atraction of the flamenco music.Movie Review: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD was not what I expected. Although Flamenco covers song and dance, I expected more dance. I'm a high school teacher and presented it to my upper level students. They too were a bit disappointed, and wanted to hear less singing.Movie Review: Very Disappointing...
Summary: 1 Stars
Flamenco - a music that came from the streets and caves is newly repackaged in this "movie" and set in, of all places, some type of warehouse/sterile art museum.
Everything is very arty without the hint of anyone breaking a sweat. The camera moves from one performance to another with no hint of story or purpose The performers look very posed and stilted and one of the essential components of a great flamenco performance, the audience participation or 'jaleo' is totally absent. Why? Well there is no audience.
A very sanitised and packaged version sorely lacking 'duende' and authenticity.
Little to no information on flamenco, its history, key players, styles. Yes, this is Flamenco for the New York chattering classes.
I recommend you rent from your local library before you buy...
