L.A. dances with Criterion
Criterion was nearly passed over in The Los Angeles Times' critics' choices this year. Film critic Kenneth Turan was one of the few who didn't include a single Criterion release in his year-end tally, but dance critic Lewis Segal came to the rescue, singling out not one but two Criterion entries, calling Martha Graham: Dance on Film "a treasure trove" and pointing out that for dance audiences, the draw of the Flamenco Trilogy is not so much Carlos Saura's direction as "its look at the performances and choreography of the late flamenco icon Antonio Gades."
