Bodas de sangre

The importance of poet Federico García Lorca’s work in the 20th century’ Spanish culture is undeniable and persistent, despite the silence undergone during Franco regime, and perhaps because of it. With this film (which will be followed by Carmen and El amor brujo), Carlos Saura started a trilogy that will redefine the dramatic tradition of Spanish culture. This film by Saura comes hand in hand with musical cinema and brings together two leading artists of Spanish dance: Antonio Gades and Cristina Hoyos. 
Synopsis: Lorca's drama merges with the beauty of an exquisite flamenco ballet that tells the sad story of a bride who, on the very day of her wedding, runs away with her lover- an old boyfriend who she is still in love with. Then she becomes the object of persecution of the future husband and his family.
