u know it might just be a logistical reason vicente wasn't in it, maybe he was busy ..or maybe it was a question of fee asked there's alot of things that could be...not necessarily that Saura is snubbing vicente...might even be the other way around, he might have asked and Vicente didn't want to do it, unless u got inside information its hard to draw an accurate conclusion...Kate is in that world...she might have heard something, sure many would have asked the same thing quote:
I don´t wanna see other movies by saura. He is on my blacklist forever. Such an amateur. hahahah you so funny ..i think your a little too harsh on him...dont get me wrong...there were bits i liked and bits i didn't in flamenco flamenco too but....i have nothing but respect and affection for the man as far as movie directors i dont think anyone else ever dedicated this much to flamenco saura has done mostly flamenco or flamenco related movies , he did more than 2 off the top of my head, flamenco, sevillanas, flamenco flamenco, iberia, salome and i am sure there's more while the movies might not be to every flamenco taste or everything in it not the way you would have done it ( 5 different people would have done it 5 different ways) i think you have to recognize that it has helped making flamenco international and showed a pretty nice side of it to the general public, while vicente is not in it, everyone in flamenco flamenco is pretty much at the top of their game and did pretty brilliant stuff....i have seen much much worst portrayals of flamenco ...and no one has dedicated as much of themselves to exposing it to the world...sure through his eyes, and he might not be a flamenco but he is a movie director and still...he should be celebrated not badmouthed IMO...any idea what kind of respect and money it would take to get a cast like that all in the same movie ? its almost impossible for anyone else even if the audio is not in perfect sync with video in places yeah studio quality is very very important, a huge part of the appeal of flamenco is the brilliance of the flamenco guitar, the beautiful crisp sound....most people aren't guitarists trying to transcribe falsetas from the video...and i am sure they appreciate the quality of the beautiful inspiring sound more then the perfect sink with the video ( they wouldn't even know or care about) and might switch the video off in a sec is it sounds like it was recorded in a garage....its not a secret we love beautiful crisp studio recorded sound ( well most of us) i appreciate his dedication to flamenco, it would be a lot easier as a movie director to join the mainstream and make to crappy studio blockbuster crap, or a mainstream movie that appeals to the masses and makes more money with but hes sticking to showing art and in particular flamenco....man deserves a statue and a lifetime award achievement from flamenco....him and gatlif are the only 2 big directors i know that dedicate this much to art and exposing it when i started flamenco the first carlos saura flamenco was like my bible...there wasn't anything better quantity and quality of stars that i could show to a non flamenco and they would think " wow that's beautiful"..IMO the fault and virtue of Saura is that hes not a flamenco so he sees things unaffected ...kind of like an outsider who might see things that an outsider might and like ...its a great way to show to unaffected public...hence the majority of the public.....we see falsetas wed like to copy, picado, remates, great choreography an outside might see a story or an art, something that transports them somewhere..the ultimate function of an art is to convey a story i have written a lot more then i intended too and it might appear that i am really offended or upset about what you said but i am not...at all...just like reading my own wisdom
