This handsome, semi-dramatised documentary explores the lives and tempestuous love of Argentina’s most celebrated tango dancers, María Nieves Rego and Juan Carlos Copes. She’s now 79 and he’s 86 and they’re still dancing. They met while in their teens, reinvented the tango and made each other thoroughly miserable for at least five decades.

With its theatrical approach, fascinating archive material and numerous dance sequences, this is a treat for tango fans. Audiences indifferent to the Argentine national dance, however, might find all the stomping and flouncing a little hard to take after a while.
