Spain/Argentina - 1998
Director: Carlos Saura
Cast: Miguel Ángel Solá, Cecilia Narova,
Mia Maestro, Juan Carlos Copes, Julio Bocca
Plot: Set in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
the film tells the story of director Mario Suarez's quest to make the
ultimate tango film. Lonely after his wife (one of the film's stars) has
left him, Mario must find the themes that will hold the film together,
while simultaneously permitting his musicians and dancers the freedom
of expression that is necessary to satisfy the tango-hungry Argentine
audience. Things become complicated when Mario falls in love with Elena,
a beautiful and talented young dancer who is the girlfriend of the powerful
and dangerous Angelo Larroca, an investor in the picture. And Mario's
creative vision is challenged by his investors when he plans a scene that
recreates Argentina's dark years of political suppression and "disappearances".
