Blood Wedding

Ratings & Reviews

¡Flamenco! What a remarkably theatrical, enigmatically lyrical mode of expression. Beautifully percussive. An Altman-esque beginning flows into a dress rehearsal that ends in blood. Dance film feels.

Music a 4.5 the dancing a 5. But no translation? I have no clue what's going on..2 so I must go with a 3 for the Saura (Mouse) picture. Pity.

The behind the scenes moments were well done. The highlight for me was the knife fight. Beautiful.

There ain't no dance crap bs going on in Lorca's Blood Wedding, man. Looks like a bunch of fairies got a hold of his play and re-wrote it for a 4th of July douche party on Fire Island.

Was not a fan of Saura's 1998 "Tango," as the choreography and cinematography were too glitzy. This production was pitch perfect though. Loved the cinematography, the choreography, and the costuming. Owes much to Bob Fosse's 1979 boundary-breaking dance masterpiece "All That Jazz," with editing and storytelling moving between fiction and reality. Wonderful interweaving of camera angles--looks easy, but so hard to do!

Adaptation chorégraphiée par Antonio Gades de la célèbre tragédie de Federico Garcia Lorca. Les préparatifs de noces d'un jeune couple espagnol dont l'union sera fatale ..... www.cinefiches.com

This would make a very cool double feature with Guy Maddin’s vampire ballet silent film, Dracula: Pages from a Virgin’s Diary. Very intense and beautiful and tragic. So much from so little. Stories of human ridiculousness told in ways as elemental as ancient Greek theater. Inventive films driven by the dance. Camera movements forced to mean. The dancing says so many things. No empty calories, all sweat and blood.

And Antonio Gades still owns my heart.

Very elegant and beautiful choices.

Does for dancing what Teshigahara's Antonio Gaudi did for architecture.

Hmm - did anyone else who saw this wonder if the incredible knife battle scene might have had some influence on the fight sequence effects in "The Matrix"?

Marvin

It's a masterpiece. No words and yet it expresses everything Lorca wrote into the play Bodas de sangre. Through dance and body motions, Saura pulls off one of the cinema's great works. Beautiful stuff!

Blake

Perfection.

As a theatre "buff," I was intrigued by this film. I always love seeing how plays are adapted to cinema by various artists.
