www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KpdFTEbKQGw
Director: Fernando Solanas
Starring: Marie Laforêt, Miguel Ángel Solá, Philippe Léotard
Points of interest: Gardel was never historically exiled from Argentina, which provides a skewed perspective to the film.

It won awards in 1985, Gran Premio Speciale - Venice Film Festival; 1985, Gran Coral (First Prize) - Havana Film Festival; 1986, César Award, France (best music); and 1987, Cóndor de Plata - Argentine Film Critics Association.
Tango connection: A group of Argentinians living in sad exile in Paris look for some connection to their culture - and decide to stage a tango musical as a tribute to the legendary Argentinian tango star Carlos Gardel. The film has dual themes: the beautiful dance rehearsals, contrasted against the musicians' under-privileged lives, unemployment, inability to communicate with loved ones in Argentina and low-rent accommodation.

Tango connection: Returning by ship to South America, a young girl escapes her elderly husband by swapping places with a girl committing suicide. She believes her new life will be that of an arranged marriage but finds it is in fact a trick to get her working in a brothel.

Naked Tango has achieved cult status for tango dancers.

Tango (1998)
www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=f3KONiUlwOI
Director: Carlos Saura
Starring: Cecilia Narova, Mía Maestro
Points of interest: the film is an Argentine and Spanish production (with English subtitles) and promoted as the most expensive Argentine film ever made. Tango was shown out of competition at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. The film caused some controversy due to 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. It was nominated for the 1998 Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Tango connection: the story is that of a Buenos Aires director's quest to make the ultimate tango film - which is complicated when he falls in love with a beautiful and talented young dancer, who is the girlfriend of the dangerous investor in the picture. There are political undertones in a scene that recreates Argentina's dark years of suppression and disappearances. The entire film is placed around tango, and the setting is the production of a stage show - very theatrical setting. It is very real Argentinean tango, including men dancing with women, women dancing with women and men dancing with men.

Director: Julie Taymor

Points of interest: This film is a biographical drama. It won two Academy Awards (Best Makeup and Best Original Music Score) and one Golden Globe Award (Best Original Music Score - Motion Picture).
Tango connection: the film depicts the professional and private life of the surrealist Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage into her work. In the film, after winning a bet, Frida (Salma Hayek) dances tango with the gorgeous Tina (Ashley Judd) in what is commonly assessed as an extremely sensual scene. They have a love affair later in the story.
