"The Tango Lesson" is a unique and beautiful movie made by the director/ writer Sally Potter about a director/writer named Sally Potter who is fascinated by the art of Tango, meets a young dancer Pablo Verón (played by a dancer named Pablo Verón), and dances with him - and as everything Sally (well both of them) does, her dancing is graceful, elegant, delicate yet masterful, subtle, and passionate - just as the movie itself is. I don't care if it is the "Blatant narcissism", "Self-Indulgence or "Self Importance" - they don't make the movie for me any worse and I am fascinated by Sally Potter, the strong, talented, and independent woman.
"The Tango Lesson" examines the mysterious connection between two people, their interest to each other, even if they were not meant to be together. At one point, Sally tells Pablo, "It doesn't suit me to follow. It suits me to lead, and you can't deal with that." The film is also about sensual passion of Tango where every dance is a fight between the partners over the control and victory and both victory and defeat are a celebration.
