The film presents thirteen rhythms of flamenco, each with song, guitar, and dance: the up-tempo bularías, a brooding farruca, an anguished martinete, and a satiric fandango de huelva. There are tangos, a taranta, alegrías, siguiriyas, soleás, a guajira of patrician women, a petenera about a sentence to death, villancicos, and a final rumba.
Directed by Carlos Saura, Flamenco leans on a strong ensemble — La Paquera de Jerez, Paco de Lucía, Fernanda de Utrera — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
