4.0 out of 5 stars Black comedy at its lightest, 19 Mar 2006
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
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, but Second Sight's DVD boasts a nice 2.35:1 transfer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tango, 11 Nov 2007
By RD - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
The movie begins with Vincent killing his wife and her lover after finding out about the affair. Although it probably shouldn't be the manner in which he does so is rather funny.
Some time later we come across Paul who's wife, Marie, has gotten fed up of his affairs and leaves him. Unfortunately he finds that he is incapable of enjoying his new found freedom as he cannot stop thinking about her.
The two men are connected through Paul's uncle who was the judge in Vincent's murder trial. Turns out he played the jury to ensure a not guilty verdict and now he wants payment - Marie's death.
What ensues is a road trip of sorts as the three men head off to find and kill Marie. Along the way they discuss the merits and pitfalls of women and why it's best never to get attached. They also meet various characters having their own relationship issues which further strengthens their case.
I'm not sure if any comedy value is lost in the subtitles but I still managed to enjoy this film thoroughly. It's not at all serious and should be taken with a pinch of salt. I dare say feminists out there probably won't take too kindly to much of the dialog!

5.0 out of 5 stars Un petit plaisir, 21 Jun 2009
By Joyeuse (Devon) - See all my reviews
Well, it may not be the greatest film ever made but I enjoyed it. It's short, well-paced and was just the sort of lightweight nonsense to watch when recuperating from 'flu, which I was when when it arrived. Noiret and L'Hermite reprised their well practiced double-act (and why can't we get "Les Ripoux" aka "Le Cop" on DVD?) as the judge and his nephew, and the wife and the reluctant assassin struck just the right note. Add to this lots of French sunshine and an infuriated lorry driver shake well and you have a nice cynical French farce. What more do you want?

2.0 out of 5 stars Grim little comedy that isn't funny.
Sorry. Can't help it. I just don't like this one. It's silly and vaguely unpleasant - but, for me, not in the way that a black comedy could be. Read more
