Chavela is an exceptional documentary because in 90 minutes, it sets the image and the life of the artist without dribbling with her contradictions, her pain, her passions and her talent.

The documentary packs in a lot of information but doesn?t feel crowded, and the concert footage will help recruit legions of new fans.

The performances ? some seen in rough archive footage, although the sound is always high quality ? show just what the qualities were that made Vargas?s singing so moving.
