As a male dancer, so is he. Novelists or painters are godlike tyrants who create every molecule of their work out of their own beings. Ginger Rogers once said about Fred Astaire. The duel between Potter and Veron is all the more fascinating because it is about the wisdom of passion, rather than the temptation. The score, partly composed by Potter, is so seductive that for the first time in years I walked out of the screening and down the street and bought the soundtrack.
Most dances are for people who are falling in love.
The tango is a dance for those who have survived it, and are still a little angry about having their hearts so mishandled.
