"Tango libre" - a good idea there, but execution... not really

This movie directed by Frederic Fonteyne has won the international competition this year in Warsaw. And... it wasn't the best choice. In fact, there were plenty of better movies. So why this one? Well, the idea of inmates learning to dance passionate tango is really good. That might have been a hit, provided the director dealt a little more with all the drama in the lives of his own heroes. Without an in-depth analysis of the real-life problems, the dance classes behind bars are a little not enough to consider "Tango libre" a really good feature. Too bad, too many chances were missed. Better luck next time. My review of the movie was published on filmnews.
