Arthouse Meets Tango: a look at "The Tango Lesson"

Today Alex and I dive deep into The Tango Lesson (1997), Sally Potter's polarizing exploration of tango and artistic expression. From dissecting its surreal, dreamlike sequences to debating its portrayal of gender dynamics and power struggles, we leave no stone unturned. Is it a masterpiece of arthouse cinema or a frustrating watch with outdated aesthetics? We break down the film's symbolism, performances, and impact on the tango community—past and present.
