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.

Be Transported to Spain

These three absolutely exquisite movies comprise the best Criterion box set I have experienced so far. The Ozu, Kurosawa and Bergman sets comprise lesser works by masters and the Fuller and Bernard sets attempt to bring to light forgotten directors. The Carlos Saura set is neither filler nor forgotten curios. The Flamenco Trilogy is three fully mature works of the highest cinematic quality.

I do not dance, cannot dance and, as a rule, do not care to watch others dance. Thus, it is the extremely rare dance themed movie that does anything for me. All three of the Flamenco Trilogy held me spellbound. The music, the beautiful bodies in their perfectly timed languid yet impassioned choreography, the colors and the tragic stories of love and violence. Saura & the great flamenco dancer/choreographer Antonio Gades have fashioned narratives that skillfully render stories within stories as both Blood Wedding and Carmen feature dress rehearsals and "behind-the-scene" looks at the flamenco companies. This trilogy is a treat for any music lover. April 12, 2008

It is a piece of art!

Antonio Gades together with CArlos SAura made this series of films that are just beautiful and amazing to watch. I strongly recommend to buy them! April 7, 2008
