Tango nocturno

This was a blockbuster that was one of the highlights of Poly Negri's comeback to German cinema. Is the history of great quality films only composed of those that were at least a technical revolution? There’s no need to expect this, although Negri's name is associated with countless milestones, and in many interpretations of film history, she stands out as almost the only icon of all the actresses who made films in the 1910s to the 1940s with great success all over the world. Does that make you think that every one of her films has been a diamond in the rough that impresses everyone without distinction? But what does it matter that Tango Notturno is "just" very good and impressive? Let's go back down to earth. (23.09.2009)
