Tango Salón
FilmsTienda HarrodsBokova celebrates the lives of the tangueros and tangueras, old milongueros, local and foreign dancers of all ages, all of whom share stories of tango and love.
At the Confitería Ideal, there is an atmosphere of eternal romance, haunted by the old 20s orchestras and the melodies of the tango ensembles that echoed between its columns in the 40s and 50s, and the dreams of poets who were reinventing the world at their tables.
By Jana Bokova
Argentina, 2004, 70 min, colour.

Crepúsculo Rojo
FilmsTienda HarrodsThe lives of Michel (Bruno Putzulu), Clara (Marisa Paredes) and David (Féodor Atkine) are marked by a tumultuous past in Buenos Aires which now, in Paris, brings their paths together. This “other side of the world,” that haunts the characters’ present, has left a different mark on each one of them. The stories of the three characters are tragically intertwined without them noticing it.

3 Minutos
FilmsTienda Harrods3 Minutos interweaves the experiences of four women of Buenos Aires who do not know each other and lead very different lives from one another. During the unfolding of their day they confront problems and disappointments of a very personal nature. But for each one the moment arrives when they must put the day aside and escape into another world, to put on their tango shoes and go to the milonga to dance, to fulfil a desire, a need, even if it’s only for the few minutes that a tango lasts.
By Eva Baratta
Argentina/Italy, 2004, 76, colour.

Tango Deseo
FilmsTienda Harrods“Cozarinsky goes back to his distant origins, the Porteño popular culture. But there is a present, that of the company Tangokinesis and choreographer Ana María Stekelman. The bodies of dancers move about a mysterious space, dancing to the rhythm of the orchestras of the city. The film opens with a dance lesson on classic techniques, but the warmth of tango and the sensuality of the dancers go some steps further. New horizons unfold in the enclosed world of this dance of obscure rituals. There are no words or reflections; only bodies, dancing, a camera and the fervour of the two dancers” (Néstor Tirri).
