ARGENTINA is the latest film from the legendary director of Carmen and Flamenco, Carlos Saura. It 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 dance mixed with awe-inspiring traditional song make it unique. Poetic, riveting and moving, this live performance choreographed by Saura calls on the entire history of a country set to the tune of guitars and accordions.
Saura introduces audiences to the way in which the citizens, geography and history of Argentina have shaped its lifestyle and culture. Using a formal approach based on light and shadow, and the simplicity of a minimalist setting, Saura showcases the sublime beauty of these traditions by returning to the soil from which they were born.
