Naked Tango (1990)
Country: SW/ARG/JAP/US
Technical: col 92m
Director: Leonard Schrader
Cast: Mathilda May, Vincent D'Onofrio, Fernando Rey
Synopsis:
In the 1920s, a young woman returns to South America, eluding her elderly husband and exchanging identities with a girl who commits suicide. Having escaped the frying pan of arranged marriage, however, she finds herself coerced into working in a brothel.
Review:
Dubious erotic drama based on Argentinian white slavery practices at the time, and with musical trimmings provided by the national dance form. Miss May lends herself to it with creditable gameness, but it is all faintly embarrassing frankly.
