In 1986, Spanish Carlos Saura directed "El amor brujo" (Love, the Magician) based on the ballet, starring, and choreographed by, Antonio Gades. It was the third in his trilogy of dance films, following Bodas de sangre (Blood Wedding) and Carmen. The dance film filled out the story with spoken dialogue, but nevertheless used the entire score of the ballet written by famous Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. The music contains moments of remarkable beauty and originality and includes the celebrated Ritual Fire Dance. Dancers Antonio Gades, Cristina Hoyos and Laura del Sol reunite once again on screen delivering mesmerizing dance sequences.
