Plot: In this semi-autobiographical love story, an English director, Sally (Sally Potter), in Paris preparing to make a commercial film that her Hollywood producers have dubbed "Carnage on the Catwalk," wanders into a tango performance. Smitten with the dance, and the dancer, she asks Pablo (Pablo Veron) to give her a lesson. Returning to London to find her contractor (Heathcote Williams) tearing up her floor, she embarks on a pilgrimage to Buenos Ares to seriously learn the tango from two amiable teachers, Gustavo (Gustavo Naveira) and Fabian (Fabian Salas). With her London flat in worse shape than ever, she flees to Paris, reuniting with Pablo. Drawn together by their love of the tango and shared Jewish heritage, their romance blossoms and Sally abandons her film project. When Pablo asks her to be his dance partner in an upcoming concert, and she asks him to be in her next film--inspired by the tango--it puts their relationship to the test. Beautifully filmed in black and white with color sequences, THE TANGO LESSON is filled with inspired choreography and captivating dance sequences, including one in which Sally and Pablo are dancing along the Seine in Paris ala Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron in AN AMERICAN IN PARIS.
