1998 film by Carlos Saura

Filmed like a documentary, "Sevillanas" consists of eleven short performances by Spain's most famous flamenco dancers, singers and guitarists. Saura, well-known for his flamenco films ("Blood Wedding," "Carmen"), here provides an in-depth look at the Sevillanas form of flamenco and its dancers.

Ana, an eight-year-old girl living in Madrid with her grandmother and two sisters, mourns the death of her mother.

Julián, a middle-aged single doctor, is reunited with Pablo, a childhood friend who has just married Elena, a beautiful young woman.

The young but traveled Ana arrives in a manor in the countryside of Spain to work as nanny of three girls and finds a dysfunctional family.

Salomé's story interpreted by a director and a troupe of flamenco dancers.

A dance troupe prepares for and completes a dress rehearsal of Federico García Lorca's tragic play "Blood Wedding," which is about a bride who runs away from her wedding with a former boyfriend.

“法朵”Fado一词据说源于拉丁文，意思是命运。是葡萄牙著名的传统民谣。是一种具有一百五十年历史的葡萄牙音乐，在大街小巷的酒馆、都会里的咖啡室和会所都可听得到；音乐表达的是哀怨、失落和伤痛的情怀。特殊的吉他乐声与独唱者的特有腔调，空灵动人，令听者无不感到的哀凄。 来自十九世纪的伟大传统，继《弗拉门戈》、《探戈》之后，卡洛斯·绍拉请出葡萄牙最深沉的灵魂《法朵》，终完成抒情三部曲。有说葡萄牙的灵魂是fado，fado的灵魂是Saudade。这个字没法翻译，是混和乡愁、遗憾与希望的一种复杂情感。一段接上一段不同风格的fado和舞蹈，不只去诠释难懂的灵魂，更在追认fado发迹于贫民区的湮远年月。一代歌后阿玛莉娅·罗德里格斯Amalia Rodriques的传奇身影和第一线的歌者轮流站台，绍拉用投影变魔法，将孤单变出巨大布幕上的绰绰人影，如fado的前世今生……极尽视与听之娱。
