I watched an Argentine film, La Suerte Esta Echada last night on DVD - without subtitles! And I followed the Castellano just fine! I needed a few translations, but more or less I understood and was able to thoroughly enjoy the film.
The character I was most taken by, of course, was Guillermo…and his path to learning to dance Tango. I love (see video) watching him first enter a milonga and fall completely in love. It’s beautiful.

Gaston Pauls…he was also in Nine Queens which has no tango, but is still a good movie. I like his face.
Thanks for the clip. I don’t see the movie on Net Flix, I wonder where to get it.
You can just see how he tastes the tango before he even knows what it is. Lovely.
I am runnning out to La Boite Noire this weekend to see if they have this movie. Thanks for posting about it!

Wow!! What a wonderful clip. I’d love to see that film.
I loved this movie, thanks for posting it as I forgot the name of it.
I am almost sure they filmed this scene at La Catedral.
Great clip! I can’t wait to see the whole thing.
Did you notice how he learned the embrace and to walk, and how the teacher said women don’t care for voleos, ganchos and figuras?? Oh yes!!
And even Cigalo is in the clip at the end! Whoopee!
Thanks so much for posting!
