For those who've never before heard fado, Fados will be a revelation -- a window into a music that (like blues music) can be poetic, heartbreaking, melodramatic and redemptive, all at the same time.
Never is his film less than cinematic.
[Director] Saura's personal love of fado goes back to his youth, and Fados reflects what is clearly his deeply imaginative, inner relationship with the genre's songs about loss, shifting hopes and elusive happiness.
That you very likely know nothing about who those legends are concerns Saura not at all; made for aficionados, Fados is virtually context-free.
In total, there are more than a dozen performance pieces, all stylishly lensed.
Celebrates fados, Portugal's traditional music.
The third segment in Carlos Saura's musical trilogy that also includes Flamenco and Tango.
If you're disquieted by something in your life, 88 minutes with this collection of Fados will calm your innermost travails, guaranteed.
Fados is basically a collection of musical performances by two dozen practitioners of the form, but Saura always finds a way to make it cinematic.
Fados isn't just a director's look at one genre of music, it's a celebration of the special relationship between music, dance and film.
A soulful and enchanting celebration of fados that will delight fans both old and new.
