The Tango Lesson<\/em> is about a female filmmaker who discovers and falls in love with the tango. Between bouts of writing a screenplay for Hollywood\u2014with which she grows increasingly dissatisfied\u2014 she places herself under the tutelage of Pablo, an Argentinian tango dancer living in Paris. As the lessons proceed, they strike a bargain: if he will make her a tango dancer, she will make him a movie star. He fulfills his part of the promise when they perform together in a mesmerizing show, but her attempt to create a film with Pablo in the passionate streets of Buenos Aires exposes the intricate tensions at the story’s heart\u2014how do you follow when your very soul demands to lead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sally Potter weaves a genre-defying tale where a female filmmaker’s tango lessons become passages between different dimensions of reality. The contrast between her lush, technicolor screenplay and the stark black-and-white reality creates a visual portal where past dreams interweave with immediate experience. Like Delacroix’s “Jacob Wrestling with the Angel”\u2014a painting that haunts her journey\u2014Sally grapples with eternal forces of surrender and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
