Tango

Saura's feature is a sensory delight, a rich infusion of colours and sounds that forms a fluid pageant of expressive physicality and reaches its emotional peak in two faultlessly executed scenes...

If the film is visually beautiful, it is also ravishing as a musical--which is really what it is, with its passionate music and angry dance sequences. It is said the musical is dead, but it lives here...

...Tango is still worth seeing. Why? Well, put it down to the dancing.

Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura, best known for his highly praised films on flamenco, turns his roving camera and highfalutin style to Argentina's fiery and plangent fusion of music and dance.
