This beautifully photographed documentary is Spanish-filmmaker Carlos Sauras tribute to the beauty and diversity of Spains national dance. Using only the minimalist setting of an abandoned Seville train station and the costumes of more than 300 performers, this is a veritable feast of exciting flamenco dances, songs, and guitar playing. Some of the better known artists include Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlucar, and Lole Manuel. The film features little dialog, but the soundtrack is so terrific and the pageantry so riveting that little is needed. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
