Movie Reviews of Flamenco
Movie Review: Big Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
There is no story line or plot, as there usually is in Saura's other movies that involve dancing; dancers and singers in a flamenco studio just perform. There is way too much singing (and close-ups of people singing) of the painful, wailing and grimacing type and not enough joyful song. And there is not enough dancing!! What little dancing there is is a bit cool and a touch modern, as are the stark sets. I like authentic flamenco (I have seen wonderful performances by well-known dancers) and I usually like Carlos Saura, but the dancing in this movie is somewhat pretentious and unengaging. I fast-forwarded through most of the DVD. CVAMovie Review: sad to say
Summary: 1 Stars
If this film repesents flamenco, then flamenco is 80% singing - 20% dancing (half of which is subordinate to singing). This should be listed as a concert film - not a dance film.
