The Last Tango Trailers

The story revolves around a 34-year old, workaholic detective who is burnt out, having immersed himself in an investigation involving the ruthless murder of nine girls. He managed to capture the killer, but his emotions get the better of him, possibly jeopardising the trial. His boss sends him away to cool down, and he ends up in a small town in the middle of the Karoo. Here, he meets a passionate and beautiful woman who is dying of cancer. His only goal is to fight boredom until he is allowed to resume his detective duties, while her dying wish is to dance one last tango before her life is over. He reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile the murderer wakes from his sedation and puts his plan for revenge into motion

Reviews
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
compton-93677 I am very partial to Afrikaans Films, in spite of the fact some of them are very poorly made. Now, this film 'Die Laaste Tango' has a most ingenious story line and there are some wonderful moments in this film, especially the description of the Tango Dance and its relationship to love and passion, that was both beautifully acted and directed. In fact the part of the film that takes place in Loxton deserves a rating of 8/10.However, the part of the film regarding the serial killer, his lawyer and his escape from the hospital lets the whole film down as it was poorly constructed and acted, the complete reverse of what is happening in Loxton.It is therefore a film of two parts, one excellent and one very poor, but i would recommend a viewing just for the 'Die Laaste Tango'.
