Argentina

The film explores the heart of traditional Argentine folklore via a series of choreographed tableaux retracing a history rich in original culture. The unique mise-en-scène of the dance mixed with awe-inspiring traditional songs performed by the greatest bands and singers make it a new reference. Poetic, riveting and moving, this live performance choreographed by Carlos Saura calls on the country’s entire history, set to the tune of guitars and accordions; or in the words of Carlos Saura himself: “I always had the urge to shoot Argentinian music, especially for the wealth of its zambas and chacareras, what you call folklore…I will create a film that is not only for aficionados but for all lovers of music and dance – as well as those who especially liked Carmen or Tango. In a word, my desire is to create a cinematic experience unlike any other.”
