El tango en el cine

About This Movie

So, 'El tango en el cine' is this fascinating montage documentary from 1980. It stitches together snippets from around 30 films, both Argentine and international, all tied to tango. The way it weaves these fragments creates a unique rhythm — kind of like a dance itself. You get glimpses of the tango's evolution in cinema, and it’s not just about the music or the steps; it captures the essence of longing and passion that tango embodies. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that feels intentional, mirroring the unpredictability of tango performances. There’s no single voice guiding you, just this rich tapestry of visuals and sounds that pulls you into the world of the tango. It’s definitely an artistic statement more than a conventional doc.

Interesting approach to documentary filmmaking. · Showcases the cultural significance of tango in cinema. · Great for anyone studying the intersection of dance and film.
