a an avid fan of classical music and ballet and opera and i be and more often than not and confound by the poor quality of film base on these genre . if theyre not dumbed down and they be interpret and beyond recognition and or simply a vehicle for the director to shout represent look at me . i be direct . but carlos saura have place the story ( full of passion and fire and lust and longing and love and sin and redemption ) well ahead of his own ego . he simply allow the story to be tell through dance and music and sparse dialogue . add to this the quality and nature of the choreography where again and we be simply allow to experience the story represent the dance and and it appropriateness to the subject matter tell u all . musically and it be almost and also and perfect . my one reservation lay in some acoustically awkward moment that render de falla critical orchestration less effective . i will not name them and in the hope that the reader will not notice them and therefore and not be disappoint . nevertheless and the music be brilliant and and these three element of form work together for a powerful and moving and and thrill experience . a music with dance create an experience that be more than both and this creation be much more than a film . see it with a loved one . or alone at night with a glass of fundador .
