Dir: Carlos Suara, 1983, Spain (9*) Best Foreign Film (BAA)
One of the most exciting dance films ever made. Suara and choreographer and star Antonio Gades filmed a trilogy of flamenco films (Blood Wedding, Carmen, El Amor Brujo), and this is the second part. The story involves a flamenco troupe rehearsing for a flamenco version of the famous Bizet opera, one that tells the story in dance. As the production progresses, the two lead dancers, with Laura del Sol as "Carmen", begin a relationship that mirrors the one in the story.
