Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Absolutely the worst movie.

The first must-see film of the year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie is one filled with rich artistic value as it contains much dancing and very elegant stage setups. The storyline is one filled with romance and lustfulness which revolves around the main character, his ex-girlfriend, and a young dancer. Therefore, if a viewer is not interested in such aspects, the movie is kind of slow. However, there is reason to recognize the beauty and creativity of many of the scenes in which elegant and complex dances are demonstrated in differently colored and arranged stages. On another note, at times it was a bit confusing to recognize whether a scene was portraying what was going on in the main character's mind or if indeed it was part of the story. In the end however, it felt as if there was no real need to distinguish these scenes as it was all so scattered and spontaneous.

Color-wise, this is one of the more stunning films I've ever seen. I only saw it on tape; on DVD this mus really look super. Storywise, however, it's one of the most boring films I've ever watched. What a shame.After 40 minutes of Tango dance numbers and an absolutely nothing story, it begins to really drag and an hour later, it was no better.Not only does this feature beautiful colors but the choreography of the dances is inventive, too, but only to point. It just goes on too long, way too long. The story is nothing but a director of this tango show falling for one of dancers - that's it, nothing more!The film is mainly a vehicle for director Carlos Suara's colorful work to be shown off.

I absolutely love this film. I am not a huge fan of dance movies or musicals, but this creation is superb. The music, the dancing, and of course, the women are all beautiful. Saura melds fiction & reality with all the skill he has shown in previous films, & Storaro's cinematography is, as usual, stunning. I purchased a DVD copy as soon as it became available & I have found the extras & the commentaries to be both informative & entertaining.For anyone who loves; beautiful filming making, passionate dancing or erotic women, this film will fill all those needs. Buenos Aires, here I come!

"Tango" is an artistically ravishing kaleidoscope of music, dance, and drama from Argentina. The film features seemingly every possible interpretation of Tango, indigenous orchestrations, brilliantly colorful sets, all interconnected by a thin story. Lovers of art and especially interpretive dance will enjoy "Tango" most. Those expecting conventional drama or musical drama will likely be disappointed.
