Product Description

From the Back Cover

Flamboyant. Colorful. Sensual. This is the seductive world of the TANGO, stunningly brought to life by acclaimed director Carlos Saura ("Flamenco"), Grammy-winning composer Lalo Schifrin (TV's "Mission: Impossible") and Oscar-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro. Set against the backdrop of a director's passionate love affair with his art and the beautiful young woman who captures his heart, Tango is "a mesmerizing experience, a smoky lush blend of muted light and color, of intoxicating dance and the richest tango music you could ever imagine." - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times.

4.0 out of 5 stars For those who loved it and for those who don't, May 24 2005

Yefen (China) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tango (DVD)

I totally agreed with Warren of Tuson, AZ's review. It is a great artistic film although a bit editing would make it even better. For those who love Carlos Saura's film, I would highly recommend CARMEN which I like even more than TANGO. This is definitly not the type of film for A Customer from Chico, CA.who gave it 1-star.

4.0 out of 5 stars A movie about a Tango movie, but not really..., Jun 21 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tango (DVD)

This movie is definitely different than most American movies. It is by far abstract. This is my warning to you folks. Be glad there is definitely Tango in this movie. This is a movie about the making of a Tango movie where the real life of the director is blended into the movie he's making. There's also a dark political message in there.
There are some dramatic Tango and some fun and playful tango during practice. There's a female voice over working on her craft. And an intro to the musicians. This movie really shows the audience every that goes into Tango, not just the dancers. Everyone. Including the lighting director. It has some social aspects of tango, although it could have gone deeper into this.
This movie is great for people exploring Tango, movie making, or the inner workings of a musical.
This movie won't appeal to people who only like mainstream or are irritated by abstract art or ideas. You might even walk away thinking..."was that a movie?"...not really.

There aren't many Tango movies out there. This is better than Assassination Tango. I would give this a 3star if there are better ones out there. The main actor in this movie is really good. I've never seen him before, but I can see he would fit in
perfectly with any American movie.

Now to answer a previous review:"No talent movie". I don't think this movie have to have the BEST TANGO dancers. Just because someone can Tango doesn't mean they can act. In fact, as the movie shows, they make mistakes in the audition and practice.
Would it be realistic to be perfect from dance school to audition to practice to show?

1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious with not much tango, April 21 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Tango (DVD)

Long boring monologue about a director's midlife crisis with a young dancer. We don't see much dancing (or even much of her), just his dreary voice and self, with uninspired artsy pseudo-ballet tango fitfully in the background

This film slaps you on a regular basis, not that you would need it to stay awake. The concepts are there, the test is "Can you follow along and not get lost? Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Great moments, no story
I don't really understand why so many tango movies seem like they would be better as a series of short films. But I have yet to see a decent whole one. Read more
