Movie Reviews of Tango
Movie Review: Master piece
Summary: 5 Stars
In order to appreciate this movie, I think one has to know about the popularity of tango in South America. After all, that is where tango is still very much in fashion even today. This movie captures the very essence of tango. In doing so, the director cleaverly incorporated a second story that parallels the dances. In the end, tango and the story come together and dazzle the audience. If you don't like dance, this may not be suitable for you. If you don't mind the dancing, it is definitely worth seeing. If you love tango music, then you must see this. You can also buy the sound track of this movie. The music director/composer of this movie is none other than Lalo Schifrin. He is the one who arranged for the Three Tenors for their concerts. He is also the pupil of Astor Piazzola,yes the father of modern tango. The music is wonderful and the dances are equally good. The cinematography and the story are excellent. What else do you want from a movie?Movie Review: Rich And Breathtaking
Summary: 5 Stars
"Tango" by Carlos Saura is pure artistic filmmaking of the highest order. Like his "Flamenco," this movie vibrates with energy and flavor through the way he combines the story with the music, in the way he allowes the film to be entirely driven by the music, which is some of the best tango music you will ever hear. The photography by the great Vitorrio Storraro is breathtaking with colors that nearly jump off the screen. Saura, the best director to emerge from Spain since Luis Bunuel, presents his brilliance for composition here. The story is intriguing, stylish and nicely detailed with a dash of romance. "Tango" is daring, romantic, breathtaking and a pure delight. The performances never falter and are always convincing. There are surprises at every corner and the camera is always alive. "Tango" is nothing short of a masterpiece.Movie Review: Excellent cinematography, a motion picture art piece
Summary: 5 Stars
Tango is an amazing movie in its exceptional combination of dance, music, camera technique, color, mirrors, and lighting.At several points in this movie I thought to myself: "Wow, this lighting/camera perspective is perfect, why don't we see more of this in movies?" After watching the movie once, I found myself immediately going back to re-watch some specific scenes just like one may be drawn back to an especially interesting piece of art.
The plot of this movie *is not* what makes this a great picture, although it does effectively tie together the various scenes and the overall context of the film. What makes this a great film are the actors/actresses, dance numbers, music, and cinematography.
The english subtitles were clear and easy to read at all times.
Overall a very different and entertaining movie... Recommended.
Movie Review: Story of Choreographing Argentine Tango Musical...
Summary: 5 Stars
Being no expert at the Tango, it seems like this film uses the national song/dance of Argentina to chronicle the nation's culture and recent history. Some interesting character studies pave the way, along with a couple of frustrated love affairs. The story line shows a group of show musical directors and producers working through tango ballet scenes, all of which must be top of the line. This includes schoolchidren at dance class on the most innocent end, along with a savage reenactment of the "disappeared" of the late 1970's, ending with a scene of immigrants. Some of the scenes may suggest the best dance acts of WEST SIDE STORY, so if you like that one, don't miss this Argentine production!! Like a two hour trip through the tango filled studios and streets of Buenos Aires!!Movie Review: Great movie, great dancing...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was recommended to me by my tango teacher Carlos Loyola. I rented it on VHS first and watched it 5 times before I went online and ordered the DVD. It is a dazzling, colourful, mesmerizing and very well directed movie.
This is not a hollywood style movie, so don't expect anything super flashy with video effects; however you will enjoy the beautiful set, lighting and colours that fill the background all along. I recommend this movie to anyone with a passion for Tango and a sense of music and cinematography.
You have to change the default English language of the DVD to Spanish language (and then put English subtitles ON if you wish), otherwise you may think it is just a documentary about the movie.
