THE FLAMINGO TRILOGY

Probably the greatest performances I have ever seen. The story and dancing is superb. Though flamingo is best seen live...these films are the next best thing. I saw Carmen 1st and loved it from the beginning. One cannot tell the difference from reality and performance. Blood Wedding reveals the quality and skill aquired over many long years to be able to dance as the troupe does. I have seen nothing to compare in my 62 years of life. November 10, 2008

extraordinary!

From the consistent 5 star reviews, one can safely assume that there is something extraoridnary about these Carlos Saura productions with Antonio Gades flamenco artist and choreographer. I often explore foreign films out of a sort of arm chair world traveler curiosity. Not all are worth writing about, but these certainly are. I was held spellbound with each passing dialogue, one could easily say "libretto", if by that one means a timeless story - one that never seems cliche or dated in any way.
You will also be spellbound by the music, the dancing, the acting, the emotive mood, gestures, facial expressions, body language. I honestly have rarely seen anything so flawlessly performed. This is one you will be proud to have in your collection. Indeed, I don't think your collection could be considered at all complete without it! What a marvel of direction and cinematography.

Esperé muchos...

...si, muchos años para encontrar "El Amor Brujo" en formato NTSC. Cuando vi por primera vez la película salí del teatro pensando que era lo mejor que había visto hasta entonces. Aun pienso similar. Y ahora la tengo en casa! July 29, 2008

Fantastico!

If you want a sweet taste of flamenco - this is a perfect set. Starting w/Blood Wedding - progressing to Carmen - and finishing w/El Amor Brujo. Fantastico! June 2, 2008

Brilliance

My love of flamenco music was born when I heard Carlos Montaya playing when I was about 25 years old. I am now 73 years old and when I hear flamenco it is through my heart not my ears, I watched this dvd Eclipse Series 6 Carlos Saura's Flamenco on my 107 " plasm tv, it was breathtaking, such brilliance and beauty, watching it over and over again it moves me every time.
