Asphalt Tango

A group of stripper entertainers decide to leave Bucharest and take a private bus to Paris where they hope to find excitement and a good living. Dora, a housewife decides to join the dancers on their two year contract. Andrei, the husband decides to chase her along the highway and bring her back to Bucharest. Such is the flimsy story. What could perhaps be a journey of adventure turns out to be a pretty dull affair. The two men in charge of the bus hope to make some sexual conquests while on the road, but it is the husband who eventually commands the attention of the pretty girls. The actors struggle with a boring script and the overall result is most disappointing. I always look for good points about a film but in this case I cannot find any except perhaps to say that the girls are physically attractive. Unfortunately, a movie needs more than this to survive a reviewer's critical assessment.

A film of its time. Spicy subject, the presence of Charlote Rampling, the humor, Mircea Diaconu in a role who represents yours for excellence. Illusion of freedom and money and foreign eccentric life. Slices of Romania. And a jealous hhusband. More than a film, like many others after 1989, a sort of testimony or exorcism. Nice. But, today, unconvincing.

I don't believe that you must be a romanian to understand this movie. Yes, the economical and social situation is pretty bad, but there are some that remain uncorrupted and with a clean conscience. Of course, after 50 years of communism, everybody wants to open up a business and that's natural. Don't forget to be human and don't forget that there are some things more important in life than money and fame: love, loiality, compassion, spirit of sacrifice and so on. As a conclusion i would say everybody gets what he deserves - if you are a pig you will live like one, no matter how much money you do have...

I've seen a comment on this movie.. and the only thing I can add is "It's a must to be a native Romanian, to fully understand and appreciate this movie, to its true quality".

The film reflects the real life of a romanian. It's all about the wanting and wishing for a better life.

And if you want to see a real tango than see "Asphalt tango".

It presents the real life in Romania !For the others is "Uninspiring",but for an romanian is a the best movie ever made after the 1989. Make a visit and see for your self !
