Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tango is a 1998 film from Argentina directed by Carlos Saura.Mario Suarez is a musical theater director. His lover Laura—one of the dancers in his theater troupe—has left him for another man, and if that isn't depressing enough, he's been left with a lame leg after getting hit by a car. Unable to dance again himself, he moves on to his next project.Said project is a show that features, yes, a lot of tango dancing (it is Argentina, after all). The show has elements concerning the immigrant's experience in Argentina as well as to the crimes of fascism under Pinochet. Mario is conducting auditions when his chief investor, Angelo, a mysterious guy who apparently has mob connections, approaches him with a request. He politely requests that Mario give his girlfriend, Elena, a chance to try out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Mario does so as Angelo owns 50% of his show, and he is happily surprised to discover that Elena is great. In fact, he's so impressed by her that instead of leaving her in the chorus he makes her the star of his show. Unsurprisingly, he falls in love with the beautiful Elena, even as she warns him that doing so could get him killed. | |

Executive Meddling: In-Universe. Mario's backers urge him to ditch some of the more weird, avant-garde elements of his show. Later, they push him hard to cut the political content, namely all the anti-Pinochet stuff (torture, mass executions, and body pits, as represented through dance). | |

Downer Beginning: The film opens with Mario's lover Laura leaving him, even as he begs her not to. That's after he was introduced sitting at home in his apartment, depressed, stumping around on a lame leg. | |
