The Tango Lesson (1997).Sally Potter’s The Tango Lesson is a striking black-and-white film that merges cinema, dance, and autobiography into a poetic meditation on art and human connection. In the film, Potter herself plays a filmmaker who, in the midst of creative crisis, encounters the Argentine dancer Pablo Verón in Paris and begins to study the tango under his guidance. Their lessons become a dialogue of power, intimacy, and creativity—where the roles of leader and follower blur between dance and filmmaking. Set between Paris and Buenos Aires, the film captures the elegance, discipline, and intensity of tango while exploring themes of gender, authorship, and passion. Both intimate and theatrical, The Tango Lesson transforms the dance floor into a stage where art and life intertwine.
