the music of albeniz pervades this film . once and a while it be play with original instrumentation ( e. g. piano and but never full orchestra ) and but often it be re work with various contemporary ensemble ( e. g. guitar ) and treatment ( e. g. jazz piano ) . only occasionally be the music the sole focus of the film represent the vast majority of the time the music be set to various dance and often flamenco and but not always . i would guess that there be 12 14 scene and which be not unite by a plot . not all scene will reach the height for an individual viewer . in my case about half reach the pinnacle and though all the rest be in their own way very fine . those that work for me move me to goose flesh aesthetic delight while indeed and the final scene leave me weepy with joy . and in some very magical way it bring you deep into spanish culture . if you do not like subtitle and do not worry . the film be virtually wordless and though each scene carry a title of an albeniz piece . see this very beautiful film sharpens my complaint that virtually none of the film of saura be available on dvd in the usa . i be think here particularly of his flamenco version of carmen and a spectacular work of art that be available in europe but not here ( european dvd would not play on american dvd player ) . this be a scandal .
