Held in spring 2021 at Madrid’s Fernán Gómez Theater, the exhibition Carlos Saura and Dance began with a wall panel of B&w photos the director took at the 1956 Granada Intl. Festival of Music and Dance.
In one, French prima ballerina Yvette Chauviré struts, arms held high standing in a field, recalling a Goya pastoral scene; another captures a dancer’s sculptural buttocks.
First cut’s the deepest. 65 years later, “The King of All the World” transports Carlos Saura to Mexico, and also returns him to his first professional love, the world of dance, in a fiction film which plays heir to “Carmen” and “Tango.”
Sold by Latido Films, and acquired by Eurozoom for France, the musical interweaves, moreover, two great Saura obsessions: Violence, critiqued in career highs such as 1965’s “La Caza” and 1981’s “Deprisa, Deprisa”; and the travails of women in a machista world, a focus of 1976’s “Raise Ravens” and 1983’s “Carmen.
