The New Tango

About This Movie

The New Tango, directed by Santiago Álvarez, is a fascinating documentary that captures the charged atmosphere of political change in Argentina during the early 70s. It weaves together footage of the historic rally in Plaza de Mayo, where over a million people celebrated the rise of Hector Campora. The film’s pacing is rhythmic, almost like a dance itself, reflecting the tango's emotional weight. The interplay of personal and political is profound here. You see not just Campora but also glimpses of other Latin American leaders—Dorticos and Allende—who add layers to the narrative. The starkness of the visuals and the raw energy of the crowd create an immersive experience that stays with you long after watching.
