Screening of 'Los Tarantos'
50th anniversary screening of this classic flamenco drama directed by by Francisco Rovira Beleta and inspired by Romeo and Juliet and possibly West Side Story.
Los Tarantos is characterized by a sexy, ritty, Catalan gitano style of dancing and marks the final appearance of the legendry Carmen Amaya in the role of Angustias.
The star-crossed lovers are Sara Lezana and the mesmerizing Antonio Gades, best remembered for his dancing (and acting) in Carlos Saura's flamenco trilogy that began with Carmen. The film was nominated for Best Foreign film in 1963 and has not been shown for many years.
