Valentina's Tango
(2007)
by Tuna
Valentina dances a solitary tango behind a sheet on the clothesline. Then a man,
Eduardo, joins her. Cut to the afterglow. We learn three things: (1) just
dancing the tango is enough to make her climax; (2) they had wild sex; (3) her
grandmother caught them and forced them to marry. On their wedding night, she
wore him out.
The story moves to the present, in which they own a dinner club
where they are the featured performers. They have two grown sons. One has
aspirations of being a priest, the other is a gangster in training. The
gangster's boss wants the club, and promises the young man a "boss" position if he can get
his father to sell. Then things get complicated: the two brothers are hot for
the same woman; dad is shot and relegated to a wheelchair; mom goes off the deep
end.
The atmosphere is lovely, the tangos are sensuous, and the entire film is
erotic, so I enjoyed moments very much, but I was glad to see the final credits
rolling because the plot gets very muddled and far-fetched in the last act, and
I'm still not sure how the film ends because dead people figure prominently in
the final scenes.
