Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and history and war-film fans. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to An Officer and a Gentleman. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

At the time of the Greek junta, in an isolated army camp, a lieutenant forces a soldier to teach him the tango in order to ask the wife of his Colonel to dance with him.
