Le Tango des Rashevski
2003 Drama / Romance
 Review
Although somewhat prone to cliché and directed a little heavy
handedly, Le Tango des Rashevski
still manages to be an engaging portrait of a family of disparate
individuals who are all struggling with their Jewish identity.
Sam Garbarski’s debut feature as a director is not a polished piece of
cinema and feels slow and repetitive in a few places, but it deals with
real human issues in a sensitive and convincing manner. The
film’s obvious flaws are cancelled out by noteworthy contributions from
Hippolyte Girardot and Ludmila Mikaël, two talented actors who
provide the film with its dramatic focus and show us that love and
faith are really just two words for the same thing.

The Rashevksi family is in mourning after the death of the grandmother,
Rosa. Her two children are uncertain whether to hold a religious

reserved a place in the Jewish part of a cemetery. For the

her Jewish origins and she resolves only to marry a Jew. This

realises that he must convert to Judaism so that he can make her his
