Subject
Famed tango composer Enrique Santos Discépolo crafts his ode to fútbol and fandom
Description
Enrique Santos Discépolo was a famed tango composer who crafted a screenplay that shared his other passion in life: fútbol. The film is heavy on social commentary that was populist in nature, and also centered on what Discépolo saw as the essence of the Argentine character through fútbol. In this scene, an urban socialite seduces the star player from the barrios, luring him to Buenos Aires and away from those who love him most.
