1.Carlos Saura Dance Trilogy Part 2 - Blood Wedding starring: Antonio Gades, Cristina Hoyos, Juan Antonio Jiménez, Pilar Cárdenas, Carmen Villena directed by: Carlos Saura July 24, 1992

I'd heard of this film when it was in the cinemas but I never saw it and to be honest I wasn't quite sure what to expect. It is superb; the film opens with the dancers and musicians arriving for a rehearsal and getting into make-up and costumes. The director then runs a warm-up in which they practice a new dance sequences then they run the whole show as if it were a dress rehearsal; no audience, no lights, just the performers. The performances are wonderful, the choreography is inventive and the music is beautiful. You don't need to have seen Lorca's play to follow the dance, although a quick glance at the plot is helpful. Highly recommended.

2.Carlos Saura Dance Trilogy Part 1 - Carmen starring: Antonio Gades, Laura del Sol, Paco de Lucía, Marisol, Cristina Hoyos directed by: Carlos Saura

This is one of my all-time favorite films. The color and dancing are spectacular but I think he most interesting and intelligent aspect of he film is the confusion of reality with unreality; life with an opera. The film, which starts on a concrete level becomes more and more surreal as Gades slips into a form of madness--a madness, perhaps, fated by the Gods. He is obsessed with finding the perfect Carmen and...to their mutual destruction...he finds her. Reality and the opera become increasingly intertwined until Gades distorted reality becomes more powerful than life itself. In parallel with Bizet's Carmen, Gades falls inexplicably and helplessly in love with he faithless Carmen. I won't write more. You really need to see it yourself. There's only one scene I disapprove ... Read More

After years of searching at long last, found.This is indeed a most inspiring look into the heart of the magic of the flamenco tradition. Saura is a genius with his staging of this most penetrating deeply Spanish music and dance. The passion held me tight in its grip. The sincerity with which this is portrayed is breath taking. Anyone interested in real music and dance and the power that it can exhude must have a copy of this DVD.
