"Carlos Saura's TANGO is a celebration of all the arts ... while the actors are unknown to American audiences, all are really good in their roles ...
"... in addition to [director] Saura, the real stars are behind the camera ... Argentine-born [composer] Lalo Schifirin returns to his roots with style and grace. The pulsating rhythms and bittersweet melodies drip off the soundtrack like rain drops on a warm summer evening ...
"The photography is by award-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, noted for his work with [directors] Bertolucci and Coppola ... His sense of light, color, movement and focus give TANGO an exquisite look. ...
"And then there is the dance itself; as presented by Saura, the tango is more than just a dance, it is a way of life, an expression of emotion, a display of control and artistry, ... set to music. The film TANGO does grand justice to all of these elements.
"But wait, there's more ... as presented by Cincinnati World Cinema, there's an interactive evening built around TANGO, ... you'll be treated to a live performance by Argentine dancer stars and then you'll have your own opportunity to do the tango on the dance floor."
