"An exuberant mixture of pain, passion, nostalgia and high jinks, this centers on a group of Argentinian exiles in Paris attempting to put on a musical based on the tangos of the legendary Carlos Gardel. Opting for an episodic format, Solanas constructs a serio/comic study of what exile can mean to people who still have relatives at home. But the hypnotic spell of the tangos molds old memories and future aspirations together, and the film really takes off in the musical sequences. Surprising...that after the austerity of documentaries like Hour of the Furnaces, Solanas should have adopted such a romantic, sumptuous style. The photography of Felix Monti paints a constantly beguiling visual surface as the songs and dances joyously erupt all over Paris" (John Gillett, London Film Festival '85). With music by the great modern exponent of the tango, Astor Piazzola. Selected for M.o.M.A.'s New Directors/New Films '86.
