Abstract

«From Ancient Grudge Los Tarantos And Its Literary References». Los Tarantos, spanish film directed by Francisco Rovira Beleta, was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign language film in 1963. The relevance of the film comes not only as a documentary testimony about the city of Barcelona and about spanish gipsy culture, or its value as a musical; but also Los Tarantos stands out as an interesting fi lm adaptation of Historia de los Tarantos, by Alfredo Mañas. This work aims to analyze and highlight the most relevant aspect that unite and separate the fi lm and de theatre show, and also relate both with his first reference, Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare.
