El amor brujo (1986)
Saura and Gades transform Manuel de Falla's ballet into a flamenco ghost story where Cristina Hoyos's nightly dance with Juan Antonio Jiménez and ritual-fire duet with Antonio Gades make choreography the mechanism of possession and release.
El amor brujo is a 1986 dance feature film centred on ballroom and social dance. For dancers, it's a chance to see the style performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.
