Sorry about the delay Steve. Yes I have a copy of "Flamenco" and it is an excellent film I watch it fairly regularly. I don't know about the foreign copies but the Spaish (PAL version) domestic one comes with a booklet. Saura wa here in Chicago about two years ago and I saw it on wide screen long with his very interesting talk on film in general.
Ruspoli's approach is a little different so both films gave equal value, it's hard to explain but when you see the Ruspoli fim you'll see what I mean. This film is in between "Flamenco", which is a documentary without commentary and " Buena Vista Social Club". I much prefer the humbleness of Ruspoli to the attitude of Ry Cooder. I am taking more about film than about music. I can see that all of these films have great value musically.
