Flamenco Movie Identification?

September 15, 2011 6:50 PM

Trying to ID a movie from someone else's description: Basically, the movie consists of the camera moving from tent to tent; within each tent is a group of people playing flamenco music.

The person I'm trying to find this movie for is pretty sure that one of the songs is "Jácaras - El Pajarillo" by Gaspar Sanz. Sanz's IMDb page doesn't seem helpful, and I haven't been able to turn up anything yet on Google.

Best answer: Maybe Flamenco (de Carlos Saura)?

Response by poster: I think I suggested that one and he said that wasn't it, and it wasn't any of the other movies with a title starting with the word "flamenco." I'll double check it, though.

Does he remember anything else, like what year he saw it, and where? Like, was it a new release when he saw it, or was it on tv.

Response by poster: He thinks it was released maybe in the last 10 years or so.

Was it Latcho Drom ( which is not exactly as you describe), or something else by Tony Gatlif?

Response by poster: Yes, Gatlif was one of my thougts as well, but as you say it doesn't quite match up. I'm sending him home with Latcho Drom and Flamenco today to double-check. Further updates as events warrant.

Response by poster: Yup, turned out to be Flamenco. He had rejected it before but I suggested it again at iconomy's urging and he checked it again and there it is. Yay!
