Gotán (1979)

Gotán (1979) poster

o Jorge Cedrón this was an act of wistful and political affirmation. He could not explain why he made it, but stated: «It necessary to make it». The outcome, never screened publicly in Argentina, is of a joyous creative freedom, a musical collage here the history of tango and its roots get interwoven with Argentine political history. A Buenos Aires street reconstructed in Ariane Mnouchkine 's theatre, a European old man who can play the tunes the bandoneón was made for, but who does not know the tango, a friends gathering at Antonio Seguí's studio, the music of Cuarteto Cedrón, hobbyhorses and a disconcerted Indian are some of the many elements combined by the film-maker in this singular, unique work.
