Fados Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007] Director: Carlos Saura, Country: Portugal/Spain, Release: 2007, Runtime: 90 Beginning with his much-loved Flamenco Trilogy, Carlos Saura has taken the lead in creating exciting new hybrids of cinema, music and dance. He went to neighboring Portugal for this beautiful celebration of the fado, sometimes called “the Portuguese blues.” Saura presents a broad panorama of fado styles, from the strictly traditional to some rather unexpected variations. Leading us through this musical journey are performers such as Carlos do Carmo, Catarina Moura, Argentina Santos, and Maria da Nazaré, along with guest appearances by Brazilian singers Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso. A terrific opportunity to discover a vibrant strand of contemporary world music.
