The Tango Lesson (1996) Theatrical Trailer

Director: Sally Potter THE TANGO LESSON is about a female filmmaker who discovers - and falls in-love with - the tango. In between bouts of writing a screenplay for Hollywood - with which she finds herself increasingly dissatisfied - she places herself under the tutelage of Pablo, an Argentinean 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 accomplishes his side of the bargain when they perform in a show, but her attempt to make a film with Pablo in Buenos Aires exposes the complexities at the heart of the story - how do you follow when your instinct is to lead?
