VHS Movie Reviews of Tango Lesson [VHS]

Movie Review: love on the dance floor
Summary: 5 Stars

This a great chick flick...we love films like this. No, it has no plot...we don't care ! It's about mismatched people falling in love, it's about the tango...

Filmed in Paris and Buenos Aires, my favorite scenes are lesson #8 and when she dances with the handsome older man in the club. He's sensational, and I wish we could have seen more of him. Sally Potter is wonderful (see her beautiful "Orlando"), she's a very special talent and as the star of this film she's touching, strong, feminine, and radiant. Pablo Veron ! What a fabulous dancer. If you like any kind of dancing, watch this man. He's perfect for the part and makes the inevitability of her falling for him easy to believe...wouldn't we all ? and oh ! the last kiss...could you die and go to heaven or what ? I love this gorgeous, sensual, romantic film !


Movie Review: A tango mess
Summary: 1 Stars

A really boring film, a rare exemple of presumption. Sally Potter dancing tango reminds of Vanessa Redgrave's Isadora Duncan, all elbows and knees. If you love tango, you'll avoid it.

Movie Review: great b&w photography & yoyoma "libertango" rendition, and..
Summary: 4 Stars

. . .i was Quite amused by potter's indignance at realizing that veron was using her to break into films. maybe that fatuous, indulgence-accustomed artiste potter wouldn'ta got caught so laughably off-guard had she taken a more realisitic page from camille paglia: "in western society, there are no non-exploitative relationships" :) but whutthehell, a fantasy's a fantasy, and if she can dress it up nice & sell it (and for the most part she could, except the notion that this veron could actually be interested in her That Way), i'll buy :)

Movie Review: Sally Potter strikes gold
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw The Tango Lesson right after it came out in theatres. Being a foreign film lover it's hard to say that any foreign film is bad. Like with Sally's '93 film "Orlando", Sally has little dialogue but any words spoken between her and Pablo Veron (the amazing professional Argentine tanger dancer) is always profound. If this film, rare in its existance, had been in colour I feel that would have robbed the beauty of it. It's intense in both the dancing and the relationship between Sally and Pablo. Here you've got an ordinary looking woman, in her late forties, and an intensly good looking man, in his mid thirties, falling in love (Though I admit Sally's got a grace about her few women have). There are no big explosions or naked paintings (a.k.a. Titanic) but this film has a genuinous about it. Strikingly beautiful with amazing music and cinematography, Oscar nominated (for Orlando) director Sally Potter strikes gold again.

Movie Review: Strangely erotic
Summary: 5 Stars

Interesting and compelling. Beautiful to look at. Free of gratuitous sex, nudity, strong language, yet very erotic. This deserves to be in your library. I can not wait for it to come out on DVD.
