Film Description

Carlos Saura's exhilarating film of Carmen - the second film in his 'flamenco trilogy' - mixes magical choreography, rousing Flamenco dances and operatic flourishes that reference Bizet's masterwork. He explores the tale by presenting a modern ensemble of musicians and dancers led by choreographer Antonio (Antonio Gades) who casts an unknown girl (Laura del Sol) to dance the title role in his new version of Carmen. During the course of rehearsals, the plot of the production and reality become inextricably and tragically intertwined, effectively telling Carmen's story twice in one film. Guitarist Paco de Lucia contributes to the soundtrack.
