Fados is basically a collection of musical performances by two dozen practitioners of the form, but Saura always finds a way to make it cinematic.

Fados isn't just a director's look at one genre of music, it's a celebration of the special relationship between music, dance and film.

[Director] Saura's personal love of fado goes back to his youth, and Fados reflects what is clearly his deeply imaginative, inner relationship with the genre's songs about loss, shifting hopes and elusive happiness.

New York Post
Much as he did in his 1990s documentaries SEVILLANAS and FLAMENCO, this veteran Spanish director has, in his latest, created both a tribute to an art form and a performance archive.
New York Times
Product Description:
With FLAMENCO in 1995 and TANGO in 1998, director Carlos Saura painted pictures of two essential world-music styles. Now with FADOS, the filmmaker finishes his trilogy. This musical chronicles the Portuguese genre from its beginnings in the music of Africa and Brazil to its contemporary artists. FADOS features the talents of Mariza and Camané, and also boasts appearances from the rapping faudistas, including NBC, SP, and Wilson.
