Director: Sally Potter Description: The director of "Orlando" Sally Potter, chronicles her
obsession with the tango. Playing a female filmmaker who discovers the tango in
between bouts of writing a screenplay, Sally places herself under the tutelage
of Pablo, an Argentinean tango dancer living in Paris. As her lessons proceed,
Sally and Pablo fall in love and strike a bargain... if he will make her a tango
dancer, she will make him a movie star. Taking its cue from the golden era of
Hollywood musicals, this film stars the internationally acclaimed dancer
Pablo Veron and features an outstanding, classical soundtrack with classic tango
recordings from the 20's to the modern day, including Astor Piazzolla, Osvaldo
Pugliese and Carlos Gardel.
