Exhibitions Film Night

Original Gallery: Please visit www.haringey.gov.uk/theoriginalgallery for information Talking Pictures Film Night Tango (1999) cert: 12 Dir: Carlos Saura Thursday 3rd May 7.00pm Contact: 0208 489 1429 for further details.

Set in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the film tells the story of director Mario Suarez's quest to make the ultimate tango film. Lonely after his wife (one of the film's stars) has left him, Mario must find the themes that will hold the film together, while simultaneously permitting his musicians and dancers the freedom of expression that is necessary to satisfy the tango-hungry Argentine audience. Things become complicated when Mario falls in love with Elena, a beautiful and talented young dancer who is the girlfriend of the powerful and dangerous Angelo Larroca, an investor in the picture. And Mario's creative vision is challenged by his investors when he plans a scene that recreates Argentina's dark years of political suppression and "disappearances". Written by Martin Lewison

Well see how current streets and boundaries follow the old line and the traces it has left, including bridges and embankments which can still be seen. Much of the track bed has been built over by the Shopping City and housing estates, but parts remain open space, including allotments at Mannock Road (with its wonderful display of irises) and Elmar Road. We hope to visit both and stop for tea at one of them. Meet outside the Gate pub on Station Road opposite Alexandra Palace station, N22 7SR. Buses W3 and 184 from Wood Green tube station pass the door. Finish: Seven Sisters station.
