This is the last of Carlos Saura's flamenco trilogy made in 1986. It is set to Manuel de Falla's ballet El amor brujo (Love, the Magician)..
Love, dance and death are key to this film, set in a gitano village in Andalucia. Carmelo (Antonio Gades) is in love with Candela (Cristina Hoyos), who was betrothed to José (Juan Antonio Jiménez) when they were children according to Roma law.
The marriage takes place after they've grown up. Meanwhile José continues to see his mistress, the beautiful Lucía (Laura del Sol).
This clip is from the wedding scene. There is a grandmother's dance on the DVD which was not included on the tape. Dance is for all ages, not just the young!
Gades' choreography is incredibly dramatic
LINDO! Se eu soubesse dançar flamenco queria me casar desse jeito!
