This film is about abuse a parable about the overly masculine father who sexually abuses his own son a child abused by his alcoholic parents a widower who is abused by his animalistic but deadly honest wife. This man had little money, and he didn't need a 'serious' career. First of all, he was a boxer, a bongo player, he married a wealthy woman, but nowhere did I see this man as working for some corporation. Out of curiosity, are all American's traveling in Europe businessmen? I think not. Someone once told me this movie is about an American businessman. It also has very little to do with the tango, and we might want to add it has little to do with Paris.
This film has very little to do with sex. Okay, so I am not supposed to say anything about other user's comments, but I should mention that reading those comments is what lead me to write this.I don't know if this is an enjoyable movie experience, but it is nonetheless a triumph of cinema.
