At 8 p.m. on June 17, Hong Kong's Culture Club Gallery will screen the movie Tango, a winner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. This Argentine-Spanish-produced dance film was written and directed by Carlos Saura and photographed by Vittorio Storaro.
In Buenos Aires, Mario Saurez, a middle-aged theatre director, holes up in his apartment after a girlfriend (and principal dancer) leaves him. For distraction, he plunges into a new project, a musical about tango. Then he's introduced to Elena, the girlfriend of his chief investor Angelo, a shady businessman with underworld connections. Angelo asks Mario to audition Elena. He does and is captivated, soon giving her a lead role. They start an affair, but possessive Angelo has her followed and threatens dire consequences.
