"The best film about flamenco made in Spain"

José Núñez

UN CHIEN ANDALOU

"A remarkable documentary film which hunts down the essence of flamenco" (...) "A masterpiece"

"The sensitivity and intelligence of Neville produces an unforgettable movie."

EL PAÍS

"A stunning mosaic of popular music and dance."

"With Flamenco, Edgar Neville gathers together some of the era's top singers (Almadén, El Pili, Lola de Triana) and dancers (Juanita Acevedo, Manuel Romero, Carmen Bernal) for an extraordinarily moving, impressionist celebration of popular culture."

FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER

"One of the few times in which Spanish cinema has approached flamenco with the authentic vision to bring the magic of Jondo singing to the celluloid."

"Edgar Neville is the most imaginative and interesting Spanish film-maker of the harsh Franco period."

"A film that is somewhat didactic, yet distantly removed from the petulance of similar works. Neville's tactic shuns folklore to approach the jondo phenomenon with modesty and sincerity. He successfully avoids the grandiloquence and arrogance of other projects.

CRITICALIA

"A colourful catalogue of Spanish popular music tradition."

E. Colmena

EUROPA PRESS

"Edgar Neville is ahead of his time."

Pedro Fernández Riquelme

"Flamenco acted as the catalyst for much Spanish folklore that was proliferating."

Francisco Javier Gómez Tarín

"An atypical project which catalogues dance and jondo singing and which proposes a non-picturesque and realistic view of this phenomenon."

Carlos F. Heredero

"A non stop display of the best flamenco dancers in Spain."
