This is a great documentary. It is very engaging. This movie was put together very well. It is one of those documentaries that just sit on your shelf and be very entertaining. It is a must see for anyone who has ever had a relationship with a woman and been in that relationship.

For a more of a mainstream audience, I really appreciate the juxtaposition of songs from different periods of history in a way that makes the juxtaposition entertaining. The choice of songs is the same as the selections in the film, but instead of being nostalgia, they are interesting for a modern audience. In this case, it's a mix of three different musical styles. The first song is "Moon River," by the Peruvian troubadour Quetzalcoatl. I think the Peruvian troubadour deserves more attention than it has received. Quetzalcoatl was a well-known Mexican warlord and philanthropist, and he is widely considered the ancestor of the Aztec people. "Moon River" is a richly melodic and humorous song. It's a song that reflects a country's long history and an awareness of the relationship between its citizens and their ancestors. The song is full of imagery and allusions to both past and present. The Peruvian troubadour is a key player in the history of that country and the relationship between the different eras. This song was a huge hit in the Peruvian region, but the song was sung by a Peruvian troubadour, a musical group, a new genre of musical artists that combines popular songs and new musical forms. This was a pioneering stage in modern music. The second song is "La Lecca," by the Italian composer Ennio Morricone. This is a very unusual choice for the film because it's not a song at all. Instead, the song is a poem about the way one's past affects the present. I find it interesting how the song is about a man who is a poet and is influenced by his past and is affected by his future. The poem is a song about a man who has suffered from a head injury that has left him with a sense of madness and insanity. The song is about a man who is still in love with a woman and who is uncertain about his future. It's a very unusual song, but it's interesting and touching. The song is quite long and the use of the voice is unusual. The third song, "Gin de oro," is by the Spanish poet Francisco de Goya. This is a very colorful and colorful song. It's a poem about the love between a man and a woman. The poem is about how Goya's lover, the noblewoman Isabel, has left him because he refused to marry her. I like this song because it's so full of color and was performed by a great ensemble. It was probably the first time a song by Goya was performed on stage. This song is a bit lengthy and has a lot of interesting imagery. The song is a great love story with a great visual effect and a lot of symbolism. It is a poem about the longing of one for a certain time and place in the past, but also the longing of a man for a woman. The third song is by the Czech composer Vangelis.

First of all, I would like to say that I really enjoyed watching this movie. I watched it with my two children (both of whom are quite fluent in Spanish) and my husband. Both of us enjoyed it and had a great time, but my husband has commented that it is just too slow. I disagree. The people that are narrating are very eloquent and were very well chosen for the roles. The acting was, of course, superb, but the story line was simply superb. As far as I am concerned, it was a great movie, and I would definitely recommend it to my family.

I remember being a kid in the early '70s and seeing this film at the local cinema, which was the best I could ever remember. For some reason, I couldn't find it ever again. I never got round to finding it on VHS or DVD, so now I'm on my own. This film looks great, the photos are great, the sound is perfect, the music is perfect, and the story is a very good one, but it just never gets the attention it deserves. I remember being in love with this film at the time, but it's still so underrated. The music and the actors are great, but the story and the picture are very good too. A good film to have in your collection. 8/10

As a lover of music and a lover of the music industry, I'm very excited to see this film. It's a great documentary that will bring the music industry to life for people who aren't fans of the music industry. It also provides a great look into the lives of musicians who are trying to make it on their own and the struggles that come with being independent. It's an interesting and entertaining documentary, that will make you want to listen to more music and want to go out and get more records. I loved it and it will definitely get people interested in music again.

It's a shame to see so many great artists who are now in the twilight of their careers to make such puerile and vulgar films. There's the over-the-top shtick, the pretentiousness and the downright silliness of the acting. It's like this is their last good film, in some ways they are, at least, at the end of their careers. But they never are good films. The conductor did have a good film with The Sorrow and the Pity, and there was a great film of a guy getting out of a jail cell, but that was not good. If they were trying to be profound and realistic, they failed, not because they were failing, but because they were being pretentious and not authentic, which they are. The story of an African-American musician's coming of age in Cuba, a musical festival, and the music of his favorite composer was so well done, and the musicians so good, that you can see why they should have done it. The only way to make an African-American film is to have the leading man be African-American, or to cast an African-American actor. They went with a white actor, who had the voice of an African-American, and the music was performed by an African-American. No wonder the films are so puerile. They should have done it the right way.

This documentary, one of the most popular shows on PBS, is about the ten-year career of Frank Sinatra as a private detective. It's really a very informative piece of work, especially if you have some interest in the music and are able to relate to his 'crappy' youth and early career. This is not a documentary about Frank, it's about him, the music, and the music as a conduit for his work. This is a film about the person who became the artist that he is today. He's not portrayed as an angry and angry person, he's portrayed as a tortured soul who still wants to be admired and loved. His story is worth telling, and he deserves to be remembered for his music.

The film does a great job of presenting a range of topics: all the more for that, as they are, in my opinion, all present in Cuba. It also presents what it means to be Cuban, both in its historical context (the Spanish Civil War) and contemporary one (the current political situation in Cuba). In terms of presentation, the film does a great job, as well as in portraying the characters and their interactions, both personal and professional. In terms of the subjects covered, it is a mixed bag. On the one hand, there is a wealth of information that is often very difficult to be accessed and digest. On the other hand, there is very little that is not already known, and very little that can be considered interesting. That, however, is not the case for all the topics covered. As the filmmaker stated in the beginning of the film, "This film is about Cuba. This is not about Cuba, it is about Cuba." So, while it is an engaging documentary that should be seen by everyone, the number of topics that it covers are not very comprehensive. However, it is well-produced, as well as well-edited. I believe it would be a great addition to anyone's collection of documentaries. I have seen it twice, and will see it again.

It is an interesting documentary that goes to the roots of the famous song and the music itself. This movie has a good flow of music, but the acting is a bit too soft and not convincing. Some scenes are a bit exaggerated. I believe that this movie could have been better and I would recommend it to anyone. However, it is worth watching and you will not be disappointed.

If you are a lover of music, if you like the music that the musicians play and if you love to learn about the musicians, this film is a must-see. There is a lot of great music in it, including "The Walk of Fame" by the Humboldt Twins, "I'm a Believer" by the I-Ching Brothers, "Shine" by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, "Whiskey In The Jar" by the California State University, and many more. The film is extremely well made and features a great deal of interesting interviews with many musicians, but it also includes music videos and clips from the movie. The film is very well done, and the music is a huge part of it. If you are not a music fan, I highly recommend this film, and you will probably love it.

To the guy who wrote this film about jazz, what is so special about jazz? It's just one thing after another. Just a bunch of unrelated subjects that makes for boring watching. I'm not talking about the actual music, but about the "art" of the artists and the organization. You'd think that there would be more love, compassion, and understanding for all of them. A real piece of crap!

If you are a fan of jazz, you will love this documentary. It has great footage of the Jazz greats of the 1940's, '50's and '60's. It also has a great look at the music and the lives of these performers. However, I was a little disappointed with the ending. It was a little bit too abrupt. It was also a little bit of a disappointment that the director did not share the same passion and passion that I had for this film. It was a great documentary, but not for all audiences.

The documentary does a good job of shedding light on the history of the original musical but what really makes this movie stand out is the fact that it is an inside look at the band members and their family lives and the importance of the music. You feel for them and see the desperation and hopelessness of their situation. The band members are portrayed as the most dynamic and talented musicians ever to perform in their genre. The director does a wonderful job of showing how the members of the band relate to each other and the public at large. One scene in particular shows how the band members are attempting to balance their own music and the lyrics of a song written by another band member. The director shows the frustration and frustration of the band members and you feel for their situation. The fact that the director shows the band members as family and how they all relate to each other is very powerful and the film also portrays the positive and negative aspects of their life. This documentary is also a must see for anyone that is interested in the music genre.

A small but special piece of documentary film-making about the US' relations with Cuba. Cuban musicians and filmmakers who visited the USA, mostly for the purpose of promoting Cuban music, were filmed at various times. These include the American Federation of Musicians and Cuban artists who used to visit the US in the 1970s and the 1980s. But this is a documentary in the first place. It is based on the performances of Cuban musicians at various venues and venues. This is one of the few US documentaries about Cuba to make it to international festival circuit. It is mostly made up of interviews with Cuban musicians, for whom it is a simple pleasure to share their views about life in Cuba. In fact, this documentary is probably more about Cuba than about the US, but at the same time it is one of the few docs about Cuba that reaches the international audience.

I think this documentary was very good. The way it was shot and edited was good. The cameraman used in the movie, Michael Palmer, was very good. The music in the movie was a very good use of music, I especially liked the way it was used in the soundtrack. All the actors in the movie, especially Bill Paxton, I liked. I think the only flaw was the documentary style, and that was very disappointing. All in all, I liked the movie, and recommend it to anyone that likes music, and that wants to know more about the music industry.

This is a great documentary about a group of friends that played in a very successful Cuban band. They are now in the process of making a film about the band. The film follows them in their world of music, and their interactions with the people in their town and the Cuban government. The film is very well done, but it is a little too long and I was still watching the film while I was thinking about something else. If you are looking for a great documentary about Cuban music, check out "Cuban Cafe" by Alisa Campbell. This documentary is very good, but it is not as good as "Cuban Cafe".
