Clip from the 1997 Film “The Tango Lesson”
A clip[1. YouTube Clip.] from the 1997 film “The Tango Lesson” featuring my friend Fabián Salas.
As many reviewers have noted, there isn’t a lot of talking in this movie, and indeed, this makes for a slow first half hour, but as the movie unfolds you realize that silence is the genius of the film. It’s appropriate that writer/director/star Sally Potter has chosen tango for her subject, for, as we see in the film, tango at its best is about two dancers communing with each other, silently and sharply.[2.
