This excellent film began with the surreal image of a man falling from a roof and the body of a bleeding woman being dragged downstairs, and then worked backwards and around the mental and actual experiences of three brothers, sons of the deceased judge, all of whom claimed to have murdered the woman.
This documentary-style film by Mercedes García Guevara is about the traditional and new-wave, tango scene in Buenos Aires and the dancers, musicians, and tango aficionados who participate and keep tango alive in the city that is so well-known for its signature music and late-night clubs.
Kudos to Film Society of Lincoln Center for Latinbeat 2004.
