Flamenco Flamenco Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Octavio Roca
The dead spots in the film outnumber the highlights, and a sameness sets in too soon and for too long.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A superb, impassioned concert film.
Seattle Times
Michael Upchurch
The film creates a visual music as intricate and intense as its musical dramas.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
The layering of painting, stagecraft, music, dance, and film does justice to the subject.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
It's as if Carlos Saura were calling the bluff of spectacle-oriented narrative cinema that necessitates excusing its excesses with characters and plotting.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
You don't have to speak the language to get drawn into the captivating performances - or set your toes tapping.
New York Times
Nicolas Rapold
Mr. Saura's museum of dance lacks subtitles or lengthy explanations. This keeps the visuals fluid and intact, but even unambiguous flamenco could use some translation of lyrics.
Village Voice
Chuck Wilson
A viewer may not connect, emotionally, with every number, and may even dislike a few, but that, too, the film suggests, is the nature of flamenco. We bring to it whoever we are in the given moment.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
This 1995 catalog of performances by various artists may represent the historical development of a rich and enthralling art form, but it's presented in such a clinical way it might as well be a list on a chalkboard.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
Each performance seems to take place at a specific time of day -- and because this was shot by the great Vittorio Storaro, the cinematography is just as impressive as the performances.
Variety
Deborah Young
An irresistible treat for connoisseurs and the uninitiated alike, pic will be a bracing surprise for anyone who has forgotten how exciting music, dance and voice can be.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The swirling together of music, dance, color and light, along with the feeling that these serious revels are driven by ancient, impenetrable mysteries, cannot help but stir the blood.
Film Journal International
Shirley Sealy
[In Flamenco, Flamenco, we see] the terrible beauty of the body's ability to transmit raw emotion through rhythm, the ability of the voice to express joy or grief.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
a marvel of color, light, music and dance. Let it envelop you in the dark on the big screen.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Newcomers should feel comfortable with the introduction, welcomed by its infectious spirit and highly cinematic presence. Saura is working out his love of the game with this effort, and it's a treat to view the celebration.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
For Flamenco, Flamenco he kicks up the style and visual luster to deliver a film that is so vivid that it stands out in bold relief in ways digital 3D can never compete.
Film Threat
Rich Cline
Experimental, colorful, vaguely interesting. And rather dull.
TV Guide
The performances are simply astounding: Even a novice will feel the sheer virtuosity and passion.
Boxoffice Magazine
Shlomo Schwartzberg
Though stunningly shot, scored and directed, the almost wordless Flamenco pales as one musical number simply follows another.
