Title: Very Disappointing...
Review: Flamenco - a music that came from the streets and caves is newly repackaged in this "movie" and set in, of all places, some type of warehouse/sterile art museum.Everything is very arty without the hint of anyone breaking a sweat. The camera moves from one performance to another with no hint of story or purpose The performers look very posed and stilted and one of the essential components of a great flamenco performance, the audience participation or 'jaleo' is totally absent. Why? Well there is no audience.A very sanitised and packaged version sorely lacking 'duende' and authenticity.Little to no information on flamenco, its history, key players, styles. Yes, this is Flamenco for the New York chattering classes.I recommend you rent from your local library before you buy...
