Audience Member Beautiful film from Spain, though it is more about the great flamenco music throughout. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Kadir inanırın ispansiyol versiyonu caco abimiz :) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Although I am a big fan of Carlos Saura and his flamenco films, I felt, while watching this, that I'd been conned into viewing an over-extended music video for the local gypsy bands. Self-indulgent in the extreme, Vengo's refusal to comply with standard entertainment techniques had me throwing tantrums within 20 minutes of the credits as lengthy and pointless scenes of musicians and dancers doing their thing dulled any appreciation I had of the genre (see King of the Gypsies instead). 1 star for the music. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie touches my soul time and time again..beautiful! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched it about 6 months ago ..as I remember.. So creative in music till the end.may be because I found Flamenco is so creative and artistic. I like the human sense in the relationship with Deigo and how all the family treat him. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member No real story here, just a vehicle for presenting some of the many styles of Andalusian music and dancing amidst the spare scenery of the region in southern Spain. It may not be the most beautiful sounding music, especially when the singers are wailing away, but the passion is unmatched. Flamenco music is born out of grief and persecution, and this film, if nothing else, gives form and voice to that heritage. The Arabic, or Moorish, influence is clearly evident in the film, and in the music. There are some lovely women on view here, but the real star of the film is the music. What story there is revolves around a feud between two mafia-like families and the ramping up of tensions between the clans, building to a self-sacrificial ending that seemed a little contrived. For all of its faults, the film still managed to captivate the viewer. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
