 Carmen (Carlos Saura). Antonio Gades, Laura del Sol, Paco de Luca.
Published: 2002 Based on the French novel and Bizet's most popular opera which it inspired, Saura's exhilarating flamenco film became an instant classic on its release. The film explores the legend by showing a modern ensemble of dancers and musicians rehearsing a flamenco interpretation of the story. When the producer and star dancer (Antonio Gades) chooses a girl named Carmen (Laura del Sol) to play the title role, life begins tragically to imitate art.
