i have never dance flamenco before and but somehow i feel like this movie be perfect . the color and how blatant the dance be and the gypsy and and the rival all put together make a movie that seem to have end too soon . i have see other carlos saura movie and i agree that this film may be his best production . i feel that the best characteristic of his past film be put together and align to make iberia . i appreciate the use of mirror in reveal the activity go on behind the camera . while watch this movie i felt like i be sit in a small restaurant in madrid and comfortably watch the dancer bang on a wooden plank over a delicious fruit cocktail . for me and this movie fit like a glove . i do not know how i will be able to get a copy of this film in the u in the next few year . i recommend this movie to anyone who be attract to the livelihood of other culture . it be safe to say that this movie be certainly on my favorite list .
