Flamboyant. Colorful. Sensual. This is the seductive world of the TANGO, stunningly brought to lifeby acclaimed director Carlos Saura (FLAMENCO), Grammy-winning composer Lalo Schifrin (TV's "Mission: Impossible") and Oscar-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro (APOCALYPSE NOW, REDS and THE LAST EMPEROR). Set against the backdrop of a director's passionate love affair with his art and the beautiful young woman who captures his heart, TANGO is "a mesmerizing experience, a smoky, lush blend of muted light and color, of intoxicating dance and the richest tango music you could ever imagine". (Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES)

The film is visually beautiful, it is also ravishing as a musica l-- which is really what it is, with its passionate music and angry dance sequences.
