     Gee, I saw it with a professor who specializes in
hispanic culture and has probably forgotten more Spanish
movies than you've ever seen, and she liked it just fine.
What critics?  It would be nice if you actually saw
a movie before panning it in this forum, Sergio.

     Once again, La Puta y La Ballena has some of the
best treatment of tango and its spirit I have yet to
see in a film.  If anyone who has actually seen the
movie cares to disagree, please be my guest.  But this
kind of cheap shot is a bit much.
