Summary:

Carlos Saura's musical masterpiece is an aesthetic tour de force in which camera, scenography, dancers, and musicians are choreographed to reach a delightful balance where Flamenco, classical music, ballet, and contemporary dance are combined into a moving painting. By working with the greatest talents in Spanish dance and music and combining them, fusing them, Saura has been able not only to draw the best in each, but to take them to new grounds. Inspired by the work of Spanish composer Isaac Albéniz, Iberia shows the authentic musical, a film where the story to be told is already contained in the music, and its performers are the musicians and dancers that accompany it. Iberia is a recreation and reinvention of musical pieces with leading roles performed by Sara Baras, Antonio Canales, José Antonio Ruiz, Aida Gómez and Patrick De Bana. Musicians include the best world guitarists, Manolo Sanlúcar, Gerardo Nuñez and José Antonio Rodríguez, pianist Rosa Torres Pardo and flamenco-jazz stars Chano Domínguez and Jorge Pardo. Also starring the best cantaor alive, Enrique Morente, and his extraordinary daughter Estrella Morente.
