Cinema director |
| Birth: 1932 Huesca |
Carlos Saura is a prolific film director whose filmography includes over 30 pictures. Saura brought his interest for flamenco into some of his works: Bodas de Sangre (1981), Carmen (1983), El Amor Brujo (1985), Sevillanas (1991) and Flamenco (1995).
In the first three, Carlos Saura counted on the assistance of Antonio Gades, who took part as a choreographer and scriptwriter, and on the dancing of Cristina Hoyos. Out of the three, Carmen may be the one that has been most highly valued, particularly abroad, and it mustn't be forgotten that it was nominated for the Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Picture (that is, not in English) category. In the film, he adapts Bizet's opera to the cinema and to the world of flamenco.
Flamenco (1995) is one of the greatest tributes that this genre of singing and dancing has ever been paid, and it is probably one of Saura's most famous pictures. Although all his films that are devoted to flamenco count on the appearance of the most important figures of the period, this one sees over a hundred renowned artists parade before the camera, some of whom are veritable geniuses of flamenco singing and dancing: Paco de Lucía, Manolo Sanlúcar, Lole y Manuel, Remedios Amaya, Ketama, Agujetas, Aurora Vargas, Carmen Linares, El Chocolate, Duquende, El Farruco, El Farruquito, Fernanda de Utrera, Isidro Muñoz, Joaquín Cortés, José Menese, Juan Manuel Cañizares, Juana la del Revuelo, La Macanita, Manzanita, Matilde Coral, Merche Esmeralda, La Paquera de Jerez, Rancapino, El Torta… |
