Carmen (I) (1983)
This film rocks!

great dancing, great music, great story. I saw it when it came out originally and dubbed into German, so my memory is a bit hazy, but it was very impressive. The story of the opera repeats itself in a production. All is shot very minimalistic, nearly just one set. It's stark, nearly monochrome and very intense because of that. Raw aggression and fury in the cigarette factory scene for instance. This one stands out most clearly in my memory 21 years after I've seen it.

Guitar by Paco de Lucia, again very minimalist.

I don't know whether there is a DVD available but I will start looking for one ;-)
