"Flamenco is a passionate and improvisational, but highly rigorous style of music, song and dance which originated, some say, among the gypsies of southern Spain.
Filmed like a documentary, "Sevillanas" consists of eleven short performances by Spain's most famous flamenco dancers, singers and guitarists. Saura, well-known for his flamenco films ("Blood Wedding," "Carmen"), here provides an in-depth look at the Sevillanas form of flamenco and its dancers.......especially the duet with Manolo Sanlúcar and Paco de Lucía ....."

A woman desperate to change her life takes a wrong turn into danger and degradation in this drama. In 1924, Stephanie
(Mathilda May) is travelling to Buenos Aires with her husband, who is considerably older than her and in poor health. Stephanie
is not happy with her life, so when a young woman named Alba falls overboard and drowns, Stephanie assumes her identity once
the ship arrives in Argentina. Stephanie realizes that this was a terrible mistake when she learns that Alba was the mail-order bride
of Zico (Esai Morales), a notorious pimp and mobster who puts her to work in a brothel that he operates with his family. A
terrified Stephanie kills her first customer and is soon on the run from the police; she finds that she must return to Zico's criminal
family for protection, where she is placed at the mercy of Cholo (Vincent D'Onofrio), the sensuous-but-brutal "King of the
Tango." Naked Tango reunited Leonard Schrader and David Weisman, who had worked together as screenwriter and producer
on the international hit Kiss of the Spider Woman. -- Mark Deming
"Leonard Schrader's directorial debut is in fact
one of the most indulgent and overtly gorgeous films yet seen on the big screen. The traditional path of the captive
coming to adore her captor raises its ugly head but stifling this is the sheer beauty of the set, design and costumes
and breathtaking ambition of Schrader's vision.
In Naked Tango the plot mostly consists of what will happen to our heroes and heroines. In the underworld of Buenos
Aires everyone is constantly in danger and Stephanie is in more than most. The film takes its title from the machismo
associated with the Tango. Many of the villains end up dancing as insults and challenges to their rivals and all said the
film itself can be considered equally in the light of a ballet rather than a piece of celluloid. The film's only statement is
that of beauty. The whole of the film is taken up with who loves who? What is the way to win a persons heart? The
beauty of danger and the beauty of battle. Schrader has taken on a massive gamble for his debut and it has worked. In
Naked Tango he has created one of the most awesome pieces of cinematic work seen for decades. Beautiful,
gorgeous and thoroughly dangerous."
"A coupling of violence and death, agony and ecstasy, and the Tango! Naked Tango is brilliantly casted and directed. Chollo, the unlikely romantic, is both sensuous and cruel. Stephanie, after her incredible transformation into Alba, is stunningly beautiful and dangerous in her own right. The tension between the two of them will keep you watching until the bitter-sweet ending. Violence, pleasure, death, ecstasy: all surround the mysterious world of Chollo and his charismatic and seductive Tango. Set in a corrupt 1920s Argentina, Chollo, Stephanie (Alba), and the unwitting match-maker Zico, discover that life is not what it seems and people are not always who they say they are. The stage design is exemplary; the costume design is perfect; the acting is incredible. This movie is a must see for those drawn to the darker side of love and lust. Moonlight yellow and scarlet red sneaking away from the shadows. It emphasizes the soul of tango. If you love tango, like I do, don't miss this film."

Anne Parillaud Biography:
Born May 16, 1960.........Paris, France.....Has a daughter with Luc Besson. ......After years of ingenue roles, brunette French actress Anne Parillaud was "rescued" by director Luc Besson (or so
says M. Besson). In 1990, Besson cast the actress as the drug-addicted street punk given a new lease on life by becoming a
highly-trained government assassin in La Femme Nikita. So indelible an impression did Anne make in this that Bridget Fonda
had little choice but to imitate Mlle. Parillaud for the American remake of Nikita, Point of No Return (1993). Since her ascent
into stardom, the haunted, haunting face of Anne Parillaud has graced such esoterica as Innocent Blood (1992) (her first
Hollywood film), Map of the Human Heart (1993) and Six Days, Six Nights (1994).
Anne Parillaud was born in Paris, France on May 16, 1960, and even though all her travels took her to many lands, is still a Paris resident. Anne studied ballet in school, and her first appearance was in the film Un amour de sable (1977) where she played "La jeune fille avec un petit chat" ("The girl with a kitten"). However, her first real role was as Estelle in Hôtel de la plage, L' (1978), and even though she had only appeared in this film during summer vacation, by then she had caught the show biz bug. Anne was in 8 other films, and then she gave her breakout performance in her signature role as Nikita in the wildly popular Nikita (1990), aka "La Femme Nikita" (1991) (USA), which spun off the American remake "Point of No Return" (1993) starring Bridget Fonda, and the USA TV series "La Femme Nikita" (1997) starring Peta Wilson. Anne had taken judo lessons for 3 months to prepare for this part. Anne said that when acting, she can abandon herself; indeed the character Nikita is nothing like her. Anne hates guns and even said of Nikita: "For a while she was in me like a demon." When it comes to which films and directors to work with, Anne has her one rule: it must touch her heart. Obviously director Luc Besson touched her heart, they had a daughter together, but the couple separated shortly after "Nikita"; (in 1997, Besson was briefly married to Milla Jovovich, but they divorced). Anne traveled to America to do several films, including Innocent Blood (1992), in which she plays a French vampire. She said of her character Marie, that she wasn't born a vampire, didn't decide to be one; in that sense, the movie is a parable about dealing with the problem of being different in society. And difference equates to loneliness. Anne is still busy appearing in movies. Offscreen, Anne enjoys simple pleasures such as dancing, and talking with friends. And she is always led by her heart, Anne says she is someone who lives by impulse first. Her many fans would say it seems she has made a lot of right choices.
"A frustrated musician w derives vicarious pleasure by luring other men with glimpses of his beautiful wife's body. ...... Niccolò Vivaldi (Lando Buzzanca) is a cello player and he plays in Arena di Verona Orchestra. But he is not the first and neither the second cello. He is frustrated. Nobody can remember his face, nor his name. Niccolò is married to Costanza (Laura Antonelli), who is really beautiful and he takes some pictures of her naked. Later he shows the pictures to a friend and so he feels better. He starts to write a comic opera called "Il merlo maschio" only to discover later he had written Rossini's "La gazza ladra". To maintain his self-esteem he can only show his wife..."
