Episode 30: Sally Potter's 'The Tango Lesson' (1997)
In this episode, I talk about Sally Potter's 1997 film, "The Tango Lesson." The film stars Potter as herself in a semi-autobiographical story about a film director who becomes interested in learning how to tango.

Films about dance often end up being about human relationships--about touch, intimacy, and the power struggle between men and women. I dig into all this and more.
