The plot and dialogue are far less engaging than in [director Carlos] Saura's best work, but the dance sequences are exuberantly performed and radiantly filmed.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 21, 2019

| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011

A most uninteresting and unsatisfying story pads the film between dance scenes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 16, 2009

Saura aims for the Fellini masterpiece, but lacks both Fellini's playfulness and easy fusion of fantasy and reality.

If the film is visually beautiful, it is also ravishing as a musical -- which is really what it is, with its passionate music and angry dance sequences.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

The dancing is good enough to carry this film alone.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 1, 2000

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Allows the tango, in its myriad expressive forms, to take center stage, telling the story and igniting the senses with its sinuous, elegant moves.
