[net.movies] Carmen, the movie

CharlieLevy.es@XEROX.ARPA (04/19/84)

This is a movie about (and by, I think) a group of Flamenco dancers
preparing for a production of Carmen, and it becomes a Carmen within a
Carmen, as the dancers literally take on the roles. The dancing was
wonderful. It's a good example of how important the spirit is in the
theatre world, either making or breaking a production, and I became
jealous that this isn't true in our humdrm world of program production
(tho there are worse fields in this respect). A good lesson in
creativity. 

It was MUCH better than I'd expected from the revues I'd read. Still
playing at the Royal in West L.A.
