Director: Robert Duvall

John J. is deeply devoted to his girlfriend, Maggie, and to her young daughter, Jenny. He is also passionate about dancing, a talent he hones at local Brooklyn dance halls. But his skill on the dance floor seems incongruous with his profession--John is a hit man, and a very good one. Hired to assassinate an Argentine general in Buenos Aires, John is met in Argentina by Miguel, who takes him to the home of a couple whose son the general had killed. But John isn't interested in pathos or politics. As he says, "There's two sides to every story." John explores the city and soon discovers the rich and mysterious world of the tango. nthralled, he watches the dancers in the clubs moving with a spellbinding combination of fire and ice, passion and precision. He is hooked and begins to insinuate himself into the life of Manuela, a charming, brilliant dancer who becomes his teacher and guide into the world of this new dance.

"TANGO"
Flamboyant, Colorful, Sensual. This is the seductive world of the TANGO, stunningly brought to life by acclaimed director Carlos Saura (Flamenco), Grammy-winning composer Lalo Schifrin (TV's "Mission Impossible") and Oscar-winning cinematographer Vittorio Stooraro: Set against the backdrop of a director's passionate love affair with his art and the beautiful young woman who captures his heart, TANGO is "a mesmerizing experience, a smiky blend of muted light and color, of intoxicating dance and the richest tango music you could ever imagine"

ADA FALCON DOCUMENTARY

DVD

Argentine singer and tango legend Ada Falcón disappeared without a trace in 1942, at the height of her career.

Sixty years later, filmmakers Lorena Muñoz and Sergio Wolf trace the life of the enigmatic performer in this unique documentary, told in the style of a classic thriller. Using footage of Falcón's appearances in classic Argentine films and voice-over narration, Muñoz and Wolf's onscreen investigation finally locates the reclusive superstar, sequestered away as a Franciscan nun.

When Falcón emerges for the first time in 60 years to tell her story, the result is an intimate and deeply moving payoff to this fascinating examination of an icon.
