Okay, the film is a real visual feast if only due to the masterfully choreographed dance sequences that are used to express fear and terror during the dark times of Argentine history depicted in the film as well as lust and and other intimate emotions between lovers. This is a quintessential art film that may appear quirky to some audience.
