In this celebration of the Tango, a broken-hearted director
casts the mistress of his film's financial backer in the lead role and then falls in love
with her. With Miguel Angel Sola, Cecilia Narova, Mia Maestro, Juan Carlos Copes and Juan
Luis Galiardo. Directed by Carlos Saura. In Spanish with English subtitles. [1:45]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Some sexual innuendo. Kissing, sometimes passionately (in one
scene, we see two women kiss). A woman straddles a man sitting on a chair and kisses him
passionately. A shirtless man and a woman in a tank top talk, embrace and kiss
passionately in bed. We see a few women wearing cleavage-revealing tops and short skirts.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - In a dream and in a dance production, a man stabs a woman
and she collapses on the floor (in one of the scenes, we see fake blood on the woman's
shirt). In a dance production, we see two men sparring with knives, limp bodies being
thrown into a mass grave, people pretending to be shot and people being shoved and thrown
on the ground. Twice, a man grabs a woman's arms, holds her against him and tries to kiss
her; both times, the woman struggles and eventually pushes the man away.
PROFANITY 5 - 1 F-word is seen in the subtitles. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The Tango, Argentina's history, affairs, falling in love,
dance productions.
MESSAGE - Life is often the richest inspiration for art.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
