5.0 out of 5 stars Duende, March 21, 2000

This review is from: Carlos Saura Dance Trilogy Part 2 - Blood Wedding [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this film a number of years ago, but still remember vividly the passion of the dance and the film style. I feel that it is fitting that this piece of literature should have been translated into flamenco, because de Lorca was a great lover of the art form. I study flamenco with a woman from Cadiz, Spain, who sings and dances many of the great songs that he wrote the lyrics for, and she says that he was often quoted as saying that flamenco was deeper than the deepest part of the deepest ocean. So, I guess it goes to say that this is a film not to be merely watched, but intensly felt, as not only the story of Blood Wedding, but in the duende, or soul, of the dancers portraying it. If you are looking for mere entertainment, this is not for you. If you are looking for something to engage your passions, soul, and mind--take a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST FILM EVER, August 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Carlos Saura Dance Trilogy Part 2 - Blood Wedding [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this film in Lyon, France in 1981 and it is still my favorite movie of all time and I can't even dance! It is not about dancing...but the dancing makes it powerful and moving. An unforgettable story. Where can I buy it?

5.0 out of 5 stars great dance and drama, December 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Carlos Saura Dance Trilogy Part 2 - Blood Wedding [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great movie. Beautiful dancing, Spanish with subtitles. It shows preparation for a performance of a dance interpretation of Garcia Lorca's play and the actual performance. There are two other dance videos by this director that are also great, Carmen and the Night of the Magician (I think, a piece by Falla) I have been looking for this one!
