I thought the movie about Camaron was poor, my main beef with it is that large parts of it are fictional, the director even said as much. from Flamenco-world: ‘Camarón’, in the words of its director, Jaime Chávarri, is a “fictional film in which believable things are attempted to be told. It's not a lie”. The Madrilenian filmmaker's intention is not to give an exact reflection of the facts and personages. Nevertheless, he wanted to preserve the most significant places in the life of José Monge Cruz. I hear from a friend of Camarons family (and from others) that it doesn't portray him well at all. I never met him, but I choose to take them at their word ;) As far as other flamenco movies there is "Vengo", which I actually liked.
