Tangos, el exilio de Gardel (Argentina)
Tangos, the Exile of Gardel
"In the sorrow of exile, a group of Argentinians in Paris seek solace and connection to their culture by staging a set of tangos. Already from the opening scene of tango dance on a Paris bridge one can understand that this is an outstanding film."
Director: Fernando E. Solanas
Starring: Marie Laforêt, Miguel Ángel Solá, Philippe Léotard, Lautaro Murúa. Ana María Picchio, Marina Vlady
Rated R
"Using a collage of individual Argentine exiles in Paris as well as pulsating tango music and talented dancers, director Fernando E. Solanas has patched together a diverse picture of humanity trying to cope with political and social tensions. This disparate group is in the process of mounting a stage play called "Gardel's Exile." The playwright, Juan Dos (Juan #2, Miguel Angel Sola) is busy scribbling away in Argentina and smuggles out his results to Juan Uno (Juan #1) in France. Maria is one of the actresses in the play who has been so long in France she is neither French nor Argentinian. Mariana is Maria's mother, and the lead actress in "Gardel's Exile," and she is having an affair with Juan Dos. Another exile, Gerardo, is desperate to find his granddaughter who was born in prison. And so it continues — an array of people trying to make sense of their lives in exile."
