Avis à la une
I did feel a bit sorry for the lad with the football. He must have climbed in and out of the window fifty-odd times in this curious short feature that has something of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" to it. Not that it's in any way, seasonal. It is that each character who takes part in the scene repeats their role and steadily the number of participants increases. Each always enters, does the same thing, leaves, falls over, dresses - there's even some sex - all seen by one locked-off camera - before it all abruptly reverses and an old lady finds herself bemusedly in possession of a football! Accompanied by a tango style theme, this is repetitive but quirkily and engagingly so.
Zbigniew Rybczynski won an Oscar for this piece of art, and maybe it inspired Christopher Nolan and the creator of Bluey (the episode Hand Stand). I'd love to see the behind-the-scenes of Tango because how was it filmed and maintain patience at the same time?

In this masterpiece of timing and cinematic movement kept me enthralled for the full period. One begins to focus on a single entity and soon another moves into the room. There is true choreography everywhere. The movements of the characters never clash, they move seamlessly, doing the same repetitive dance. It's impossible for a brief review to do this justice. I would urge everyone to see this at some point.
Quite simply mesmerising. I saw this in the modern art museum in Warsaw and saw it 3 times before I left the room. I think I'll probably watch it another 10 times on YouTube before I even come close to appreciating how intricate and clever it is (THIS is what marks it apart from the soppy The Snowman that some seem to think deserved the Oscar).
The interaction (without actual interaction) between the multitude of characters is fascinating to behold.
As my partner put it, "I'm freaking out!"

The year 1982 saw three shorts nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short. All were excellent and could easily have won. It was the misfortune of The Great Cognito and The Snowman that they were in direct competition with this short. This is so intricately done and so fascinating in its conception and execution, that words fail me. It reminds me of the feeling I get when I look at the works of M.C. Escher. This must be watched (more than once) to be fully grasped. One warning is necessary: this is not for children. A portion or two of this is most decidedly adult in nature. Most decidedly and solidly recommended!

- AnecdotesOn April 11, 1983, at The 55th Annual Academy Awards (1983), Polish animator Zbigniew Rybczynski (pronounced "Rib-chin-ski") had probably the worst night that any Academy Award winner has ever had at the annual Oscar show. When presenter Kristy McNichol announced Rybczynski's short film, Tango (1981), as the winner in the Best Animated Short category, she mispronounced his name as "Zib-new-ski...sky." When Rybczynski accepted the award at the podium, the orchestra cut off his acceptance speech with the "Looney Tunes" theme. After talking with reporters in the press room backstage, Rybczynski stepped outside into an alley to have a cigarette. When he tried to re-enter the theater, an overzealous security guard refused to let him back in. Although Rybczynski was holding his Oscar, he was wearing a cheap tuxedo and tennis shoes, because he had been unable to afford better clothes. Rybczynski tried to explain things, but his English was poor, and the guard assumed he was drunk and called two police officers, who slammed the Polish director up against the wall. During the altercation, Rybczynski reportedly shouted, "American pig! I have Oscar!" and tried to kick a policeman in the groin. Rybczynski spent the night in jail before the mess was sorted out.
