Talk:Tango (1998 film)

Original work - OVERVIEW section
... the following seems like original work ...."As in so many of Saura's films, the basic psychological love triangle is transplanted to a new arena, not that of Carmen nor of Lorca, but of the director of a production in Argentina that takes up a number of powerful historical themes, from the landing of many immigrants, covered by the soundtrack with Verdi's "Va, pensiero...", which recalls historical themes of rebellion and which are taken up when a danced representation of the Junta's repression is enacted.

There is less dancing than usual in Saura's films. Clearly, he has experts to work with, and the focus on the foot tracing catlike its path on the floor has the flavor of a point newly inculcated, and yet it is appropriate, and not the amateur mistake made by many dance filmmakers of concentrating the camera only on the feet or legs, which misses the whole point of the dance coming from the dancer's center.

The film caused some controversy by a lavish dance scene between Elena and Laura, that ends in a lesbian kissing scene. This was criticized by some tango fans who claimed that same sex tango, even being common, doesn't have usually a sexual connotation."
