Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
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.
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.
