I love the tango. Interesting adaptation of The Police's Roxanne (one of my favorite of their songs).

The only thing missing is Pablo Verón. Since he starred in The Tango Lesson just a couple of years earlier, and the contemporaneous Assassination Tango, and he's highly regarded in the tango world, it would seem he'd be a natural choice, if for no other purpose than choreography.

One peeve, which is becoming a universal pet peeve, is the continuous stream of one second or less cuts from one camera to another. What is the point of that? It makes it extremely difficult to identify performers (in this video particularly) and is similar in effect to the vomit cam technique popular a few years ago, which presumably was to mimic amateur videographers. Again, what's the point?

I'm seeing more and more of this—not just in music videos, but in other entertainment performances. Many directors seem absolutely clueless when some physical event, fairly important to the process, is about to occur and they cut away to a shot of the audience at the crucial moment. How many audience shots are necessary?
