I saw this movie at a special showing by a local film society of all the Oscar nominated Live Action Shorts about a week or so before the Oscars were announced. Of the five nominees, TANGHI ARGENTINI is by far the most enjoyable and entertaining. However, I predict that AT NIGHT will win because of its amazing acting and writing--even though it cannot be described by anyone as fun or entertaining.
THE Argentinian TANGO starts with a rather nerdy looking middle aged man on the computer at work late at night. When he's caught by the cleaning lady, she thinks he's looking at porn, though he's actually corresponding with a lady about the Tango. It seems they have met online and are going to finally meet at a dance.
The next day, this man approaches a grouchy co-worker and begs him to teach him to Tango--as everything he said online is a lie and he can't dance this complicated dance! Finally, after much cajoling, the other man agrees to teach him this passionate dance.
What happens next and all the great twists you'll have to see for yourself. There is so much more to this wonderful little story and it is utterly charming. A perfect little film that will make you smile.
UPDATE--Apparently I am lousy at guessing Oscars, as MOZART OF PICKPOCKETS just won the award for 2008.
