The Tango LessonSally Potter's self-reflective film stars Potter (lead actress and the director of Orlando), more or less as herself, learning to tango from master dancer Pablo Veron and considering making a film called "The Tango Lesson". The film that we are watching, however, is concerned largely with the delicious conflict between the politics of tango, the need for one partner, typically the woman, to yield to the other, and the expectations of the film maker to do things on her own terms. Potter may not be Veron's equal on the dance floor, but that isn't the point of this interesting movie and its provocative, internal debate. More information on the Sony Pictures website.

Assassination Tango (2003)Robert Duvall's fascination with tango finds its expression in this labor of love, a film he wrote, directed, and stars in. Duvall plays a professional hit man on a job in Argentina. Forced to kill time instead of his target, he learns about tango, and meets a beautiful young dancer who teaches him the art. Seeing this precise, passionate dance, one feels no doubt it is worthy of Duvall's obsession. The hit-man plotline becomes less urgent as the movie goes on, and the director's loose, improvisatory approach makes for a certain sketchiness in scenes. But, like Duvall's marvelously odd The Apostle, the darn thing is intriguing. In leading lady Luciana Pedraza, Duvall has found a stunning partner--a slinky tango dancer and a beguiling actress.
