Flamenco Flamenco (29 days left)

I went to the Sevilla Film Festival...

and saw the new Carlos Saura movie 'Flamenco Flamenco'.
It was just like the first one but with more jazz infused stuff, more modern performances. A lot of the performers I've seen live: Sara Baras, Eva Yerbabuena, Farruquito y El Carpeto, Paco de Lucia, Rocio Molino, and a guy that I saw dance with La Moneta but I can't remember his name. He's in the movie 'Flamenco Hoy' too - he's the chubby dancer with really modern arms - anyone remember his name? Also, Arcangel was in the movie, Miguel Poveda, Estrella Morente, Jose Merce, AND CARLOS GRILO! Bj, Aurora and I met Carlos in Jerez two years ago! He's the brother of a great dancer named Joaquin Grilo and Carlos is famous in his own right for being a great palmero. AND he owns a bar that we discovered in Jerez where all the performers went every night after their shows; he directed us where to get late night food one night. Anyways, he's in the movie too. It was a very beautiful film.
