I loved this movie! Especially the dance sequences, of course. There is a part in the movie when the Director is dancing with 3 partners at the same time. I think it was the Libertango. Beautiful! 🌻🙏🏽
@@matthewdietzen6708 ...well, that's how I perceive it, whereas others commenting here view it in an entirely different way. Each to his own taste, I guess. You will allow that, won't you? Robert, UK.
@@2eleven48 that's all very fine and well, however those are very specific criticisms, so naturally I was curious for more of an elaboration as to what parts and why. What was it pretending? What was embarrassing about it? I'm genuinely curious for this perspective.
@@matthewdietzen6708 ....well. 'pretending' is entirely different from 'pretentious'. I used 'embarrassing', because here is a person who is inflating her ego over a true rendering of the meaning of tango. Of course, the director, Sally Potter, rightly has her artistic interpretation of the dance and music, but there are instances where you rather cringe at her exposition of it, such as dancing in the rain and that performance with three male dancers in the studio which is, of course, dynamic but really a piece of showmanship with her as the central figure. I rather do think that Potter is vain and far too occupied about herself to the detriment of everything I love about the tango, its intimacy primarily. That's something of what you see in the scene I liked (which actually portrays the Milonga). But, hey, Matthew, enough writing. If you loved the whole movie, then I'm not going to say anything against you. Of course not. Each to his own. Robert, UK.
Brilliant and gorgeous film!

I look at the young Olga Besio and I see Ariadna😊
And young Gustavo Naveira is identical to his son, Federico.

I've been looking for this movie!
Well, it's most times an embarrassing pretentious movie, but there are moments such as this one here that are a deep pleasure to look at. Robert.
exactly!
How so, exactly?
