Tango

  In the film Tango, there are many scenes with words, just the images of the dance and the sounds of the music.  I have never seen a movie that could be so emotional and powerful with so few words.  For example, the torture scene near the end of the movie was so intense.  It conveyed the fear, pain, and horror that the missing would have felt.  I have never really gotten into interpretive dance, but I must say, this was quite an experience.  I believe that the director fused to very important parts of Hispanic culture to create this film.  The beauty and power of dance and the memory of past government abuse.  He uses these tools, that would be very recognizabl to almost any Latino, to create atmospheres and moods.
