Camaron: When Flamenco Became Legend
Jaime Chávarri, 2005, 86 min.
Spain, Drama - Performing Arts and Biopic
The life of famous flamenco singer Jose Monge Cruz, also known as "Camaron de la Isla."

The film is divided into three periods: the discovery, confirmation and the recognition and farewell.
In each of them, Camarón de la Isla is surrounded by personages from flamenco culture such as Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, Manolo Caracol, Antonio Mairena, Paco Cepero...
They are mixed in with real artists such as guitarist Juan Parrilla, Enrique Pantoja and Jerez-born clappers Chícharo, Gregorio and El Bo.
The part of the movie reflecting his most prolific period presents lights and shadows reflected in his love affairs, his national and international recognition, the recording of albums that revolutionized the performance of flamenco, his wedding with Dolores la Chispa, flirting with drugs and his physical deterioration at a very early age.
