Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Carmen is a 1983 Spanish romantic musical drama film and an adaptation of Prosper Mérimée's novel Carmen, incorporating music from Georges Bizet's opera of the same name. Directed and choreographed in the flamenco style by Carlos Saura and María Pagés, it constitutes the second installment of Saura's flamenco trilogy in the 1980s, preceded by Bodas de sangre and followed by El amor brujo. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the 56th Academy Awards. The film follows modern dancers as they re-enact Bizet's tragic love affair in their personal lives, culminating in its fatal conclusion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
