One of the most popular of Carlos Saura's celebrated dance films, Blood Wedding is choreographed by Flamenco legend Antonio Gades from the play by Lorca. Blending beautifully shot footage of the performance (a dramatic tale of honour and revenge) with the dancers' ritualistic preparations, the film draws the audience into the very heart of passion and desire. A rare opportunity to see this screen classic.
