Wolfe's anecdotal musicology succeeds precisely because of its bare-bones, bawdy yet beautiful approach--just like the music Vargas makes.
Without losing sight of the music's essential energy, Mr. Wolfe peppers his film with quietly resonant shots.
Alternating between New York clubs by night and the colorful streets and countryside of Santa Domingo by day, pic captures the spirit of the music and the nation that gave birth to it.
The technically uneven performance footage is redeemed by excellent sound and charismatic interviews with popular bachateros.
