This did look like an interesting film and it absolutely was, not to mention that it was a brilliant movie in its own right. Visually, Carmen is stunning, with ravishing cinematography, sumptuous colour and costumes and costumes and scenery that are enough to take the breath away. The music is magnificent as well and performed with authentic flavour which makes the experience even more passionate. The choreography is very vivid and shows a big amount of technical, even virtuosic brilliance, while the Flamenco dancing is not only efficient but the dancers actually show they're into it. The story is still as beautiful and passionate as ever, while the performances of Antonio Gades and Laura De Sol are superb and the two are riveting together. Every scene is compelling, but my favourite is the Poker scene which is one of the better scenes of any film I've seen recently. In conclusion, a must watch. 9/10 Bethany Cox
