Carmen (1983) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

This is the story of a choreographer (Antonio Gades) who casts Carmen (Laura del Sol) and finds life imitates art when he falls under the spell of the hotblooded Latin siren. He was looking for the perfect girl to dance Carmen, when he found her she was a little too perfect. The man is cursed by the bewitched love , and things go wrong. They're dancing a fine line between fantasy and reality !. Your senses will be aroused like never before !. And never again will you see anything like it !. She lived passion and deception on stage and off !. And he didn't know where one began and the other ended !.Tragic and sensitive love story, stunningly danced , dealing with a peculiar version based on famous character Carmen from Prosper Merimee novella and Bizet's opera. In this explosive interpretation of the classic opera "Carmen", the lines between passionate illusion and real life become intricately entwined. Never before has the art of flamenco dance been so pulsatingly sensual and thanks to Carlos Saura and Antonio Gades this art had never reached such heights. Bizet's opera lens itself to erotically charged flamenco context with wonderful Andalusian dances. Well acted, breathtaking scenes including cigarette girls's dance fight and romance between Carmen and Don José. Having been based on a ballet, the movie does use dance extensively, particularly in some rather striking and marvellous sequences .The main novelty is that filmmaker and writer Saura set the story in a studio where the dance company rehearses; the director choreographs passages from the original work among the musical numbers that are being created and the distance between fiction and reality becomes increasingly short. After the success of the musical rehearsal Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding) (1981) based on the homonymous work by Federico Garcia Lorca and before filming El Amor Brujo (1986) with music by Manuel de Falla, the producer Emiliano Piedra, who accepted the rights to George Bizet's opera were the public domain, convinced director Carlos Saura and the dancers Antonio Gades and Cristina Hoyos to do the best of his three musicals. The result had a great resonance, even more internationally than nationally; it represents the launch of the debutante Laura del Sol and confirms that Gades is as good a dancer and choreographer as he is a bad actor. Due to the hit of the film, they continued with a successful theatrical version, directed jointly by Gades and Saura, which the dancer's company performed throughout the world with a large and fervent audience that followed the performances.It is directed with a striking visual sense and very well acted. So it's definitely a more cultured affair than most of the Spanish movies. It is fundamentally a tragic melodrama with ballet scenes , that's why it is musically riveting , it is almost, also , perfect and laced with glimmer photography by Teo Escamilla , particularly shown on the spectacular and sensitive dancing set pieces . I was able to enjoy many of the visual elements, in fact this one results to be the quintaessential Dance film , featuring brilliant and frenetic choreography and embellished thanks to its chromatic aesthetic and a high-caliber Flamenco dance. Adding sensual re-creations of love , passion , betrayal and jealousy . Freely based on ¨Bizet's Carmen¨ , as the film filled out the story with spoken dialogue , but nevertheless used the entire score of the ballet , along with additional songs -one of them performed by Marisol- and dances performed by characters in the film. The work is distinctively Andalusian in character as well dances and songs. The music contains moments of remarkable beauty and originality ; adding the guitar tones of the everlasting artist Paco de Lucia. The great quartet starring formed by four splendid dancers : Antonio Gades , Cristina Hoyos ,Juan Antonio Jiménez , and Laura del Sol are really fabulous .This splendid motion picture was compellingly directed by Carlos Saura.There are several versions based on Prospero Merimee, George Bizet tale : First silent retelling ¨Carmen¨ 1915 by Cecil B De Mille with Geraldine Farrar, Pedro de Córdoba, Wallace Reid. ¨The Loves of Carmen¨ 1943 by Charles Vidor with Rita Hayworth , Glenn Ford , Ron Randell. ¨The loves of Carmen¨ with Dolores Del Río, Don Alvarado. ¨Carmen¨ 1944 with Vivían Romance , Jean Marais. ¨The Devil made a woman¨ 1959 by Tulio Demicheli with Sara Montiel, German Cobos , Amadeo Nazzarí. ¨Man, Pride and vengeance¨ 1967 by Luigi Bazzoni with Franco Nero, Tina Aumont, Klaus Kinski. ¨Carmen Jones¨ by Otto Preminger with Harry Belafonte , Dorothy Dandridge .¨Carmen de Bizet¨ 1984 by Francesco Rosi with Julia Migenes , Placido Domingo, Ruggiero Raimondi . And ¨Carmen¨ 2003 by Vicente Aranda with Paz Vega , Leonardo Sbaraglia, Antonio Dechent . Rating : 7.5/10 . Better than average . Worthwhile watching.

The latest film from a list given to me of must-watch Spanish language movies recommended by my Spanish neighbours and like all the rest, so far, very enjoyable.Now that I live in Spain, I have watched ladies here dancing the flamenco and frankly found it just a little boring with all its stamping and posturing, but here, as the backdrop to this Carlos Saura movie and with male dancers featuring just as prominently, it's something altogether different. It's vibrant, sexy and involving as a flamenco version of the famous Bizet tragic opera is staged by middle-aged director and choreographer, Antonio played by Antonio Gades. As the film begins he's still not found his leading lady, until dark-haired beauty Laura Del Sol turns up Vivien Leigh-style to win the part.The ideas of life imitating art, backstage drama and staging a play within a play (or movie) aren't new but under Saura's assured, if stylised direction, the film tellingly uses extended dance sequences to carry the story, interspersed with naturalistic acting, particularly by the two leads. You don't even need to know much about the opera itself to guess that this one will end in tears.Gades has an expressive face, with especially tired-looking eyes and a steely determined look when he's driving his troupe to their limits. Del Sol has an allure and air of wantoness which makes her right for the role in Gades' production but wrong as his lover. Sure enough, after sleeping with him and professing her devotion to him, we next see her having a fumble in her dressing-room with a fellow-dancer and not even a particularly attractive one at that.Gades' obsession only grows as he realises she is too important to fire her but can't stop his obsessive, possessive feelings for her resulting in the dramatic climax, which is cleverly and effectively shot partly off-stage with the camera then panning across the rest of the completely disinterested company sat only yards away.I'm no opera buff, but almost all of Bizet's original music here is familiar to me and while I may not fully appreciate the cultural significance of flamenco in Spain, its use here in unspokenly expressing emotion as well as a dance spectacle, I found very appealing and interesting.
