Editorial Reviews

ENGLISH SUBTITLES!!! Import, Region free, Widescreen, NTSC DVD. Audio Tracks: DD 2.0 FRENCH and optional DD 2.0 RUSSIAN (voice-over)____________ SYNOPSIS: If such a thing as gentle humor can be wrung from murderous misogyny, this all-star comedy is the embodiment of it. The basic point of the film seems to be this: unattached men long to live with women, and once they do, they long to live without them. In this story, Paul (Thierry Lhermitte) is upset about his wife's having left him. He can't stop thinking about her, and eventually decides that he'd be much happier if he knew she was dead. Then, he thinks, he could put an end to his obsessing. His uncle, a judge (Phillippe Noiret), knows of a man who killed his wife more or less on purpose, and got away with it. Paul and his uncle get together with the lucky killer, Vincent (Richard Bohringer), and, on their way to visit Paul's wife, discuss how Vincent managed to kill his wife and get away with it. Along the way, the aggravations women bring to men are pretty thoroughly (and humorously) hashed over.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black comedy at its lightest, June 22, 2007
Tango is one of those films that really shouldn't be as likeable as it is. This 1993 black comedy is Patrice Leconte in Bertrand Blier mode, but without the darkness, bite or inevitable third act problems that plague Blier's films. In fact, it may be the most lighthearted misogynist film ever made, as judge Philippe Noiret blackmails Richard Bohringer into killing his nephew Thierry L'Hermitte's wife. Cue a road trip in search of their intended victim and a series of encounters with the opposite sex where they bond and bicker en route to the expected but not unsatisfying ending. The scope camerawork is playful and a visual treat and the cameos from Carole Bouquet, Miou Miou (in a blonde crop that makes her look surprisingly like Leconte regular Sandrine Bonnaire) and the Hairdresser's Husband himself Philippe Noiret (in a part initially so gratuitously minor it verges on the inspirational) are fun. And there's a great joke about handwriting too...

No extras on Second Sight's UK PAL DVD, but it boasts a nice 2.35:1 transfer.
