Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding) is based on the Lorca work, and was the first of Carlos Saura's flamenco trilogy.

Antonio Gades (who was also the choreographer) and Cristina Hoyos play the ill-fated lovers, who dance their farewells before she marries someone she doesn't love. She is serenaded by two singers, with Lorca's "Despierta la novia, despierta" (may the bride awaken). At the end of the clip she looks like one of the most unhappy brides I've ever seen!

The setting is spare-it takes place inside a bare rehearsal hall. The dancing is superb!

  • who wrote the music for this? 

  • @carnagegerman Emilio de Diego, with an assist from Garcia Lorca.

  • Porqiué prescinde del baile flamenco Saura en ésta escena? No me gusta la coreografia, nol e va ni a la música, ni al espíritu de la obra. Será que tod@s sueñan un poco con en El Lago de los cisnes? No hay ninguna danza que pueda dar en la escena lo que el flamenco. Un amante de la danza y del flamenco. xiscobernal@gmail.com

  • @xiscot2008 Pues, me gusta la película, la coreografía, y los bailarines. Es por eso que está ahí.

  • Linniek9 how or why is your movie so clear

  • @jewdowski. Hi, I used several filters on the clip, increased the saturation, sharpened the image, etc. In other words, I did a lot of tweaking!

  • Me parece bellísimo. La danza de la ausencia, del sueño, del anhelo, del deseo que es siempre un anhelo. Precioso.

  • Who is behind this wounderful gitar play?

  • Ellos viven como Fred y Ginger

  • I had no idea Saura did Blood Wedding - gorgeous! WOW.

  • -it's quite dramatical performance.

  • @xiscot2008 como que no? si te gustara el Flamenco sabrias que el bailaor Antonio Gades es uno de los mejores que hubo. Esto más que flamenco es una pelicula de danza, por supuesto que el flamenco de los tablados es diferente, pero no hay que ser tan cerrado, y muchos bailarines, los mejores tienen bases de otras danzas tambien

  • Oh, BLOOD WEDDING! I remember watching this on Channal 4.

  • she is male

  • Deseo esta vida, pero muy apasionado
