Naked Tango is a 1991 film written and directed by Leonard Schrader and starring Vincent D'Onofrio, Mathilda May, Esai Morales and Fernando Rey.[1]
Plot summary
Returning by ship to Buenos Aires, a young woman escapes her elderly husband by swapping places with a woman committing suicide. She believes her new life will be that of an arranged marriage but finds it is in fact a ruse to cause her to work in a brothel. The film plays on the association of tango with brothels and clearly alludes to the practices of the Zwi Migdal white-slavery and prostitution ring that was active in Buenos Aires early in the twentieth century and was dissolved thanks to Raquel Liberman.[2]
