"Danzon" is a "chick flick", no doubt. Directed by a woman, its main star is a woman--and it is concerned mainly with woman's issues. The setting is contemporary Mexico City. The danzon--a slow, graceful dance of l9th century Cuban origin--is the force that brings the heroine Julia together and her long time competition dance partner Carmen. When Carmen vaporizes, Julia heads for the coast--Veracruz--to search for him. Once there, she meets a series of unique characters, which add up to a wonderful viewing experience. I feel that Julia also meets herself there--discovering her real value as a woman and human being. When she returns to her job in Mexico City, she's a changed woman for numerous reasons--all good. A strong subtle movie.

Are You Lonesome Tonight
valis19491 March 2012
DANZON (dir.María Novaro) Julia is a long distance telephone operator in Mexico City who has a passion for the official dance of Cuba, The Danzon. When her partner disappears, she travels to Veracruz to try and discover what happened to him. The film becomes a tender and affectionate journey of self-discovery which leads to a reaffirmation of her sexuality. The various colorful and quirky characters that she meets change her life in subtle, yet fundamental ways. This is not exactly a 'Chick Flic', but Maria Novaro has crafted a film in which femininity is celebrated and revered in an honest and creative manner. A color saturated 35mm print makes this a delight to see-the absolute antithesis of the stark and clinical look of digital photography. Winner of numerous awards.
You don't need a man
atrahan12 April 2001
The main character goes on a long journey to find Carmelo, her danzon partner, after he fails to show up for their weekly dancing date. She believes that dancing is the only bright spot in her life. On her journey, she makes new friends and has an affair with a younger man. She returns to find Carmelo at home, and realizes that she doesn't need him the way she thought she did. Julia's life has an excitement even without this man.
It was a good film. I watched a subtitled version which was helpful but as always you lose alittle of the content that way.

I just saw Danzon at Washington, D.C.'s National Gallery, which was selected as part of the theme for Milestones in Mexican Cinema. It was a wonderful, simple story about a woman who's love of dance forces her to realize her independence.
Danzon director María Rojo stars as Julia Solórzano, a timid working class woman (just to show you the cultural and economic differences between the states and Mexico, it was 1989 when this movie was released, and they were talking about the "modernization plan" and the development of 'long distance telephone'). At night, she and the girls from work go to the popular Mexican night spots and spend the night dancing the Danzón.
When her Danzón partner mysteriously disappears without word (although there are several rumors), she feels completely helpless. Dancing is what she loves to do, and with Carmelo (her dance partner) gone, she falls into a state of disrepair.
Julia takes a trip to Veracruz, where Carmelo was from (this being where the majority of the film takes place), and looks for him. There, she meets several interesting people, and her friendship forces her to rethink things about herself, namely her independence.
Danzón is a wonderful, funny, and simple story, qualities that I had appreciated more after having seen the pretentious Adaptation. There is something about Julia and the townspeople that are so interesting, and so engaging, even though the point is so simplistic. Among the best characters in the film were Carmen Salinas as Doña Tí and Tito Vasconcelos as Susy (Julia's cross dressing friend who is perhaps the funniest character in the whole movie). I recommend seeing it.

The film Danzón, directed by Maria Novaro, was an interesting film. The film is about Julia, a telephone operator, who devotes her time to her little girl, her work, and to dancing. In the movie she dances with Carmelo, someone who she has never met but they always dance together. One day Carmelo does not come to dance and Julia leaves her daughter and her job to go find this man whom she never knew. In the end she returns to her house because she can not find him and in the room where they dance, she finds Carmelo. I liked the idea of the movie but it was a bit confusing in parts. It was not a very realistic film but with what they were trying to do I do not think there was a realistic way to do it. It's an adventure movie about following your heart. She felt something so strong, with Carmelo, that she left her little girl behind to look for him. I'm not sure if that's love or being a bad mother. They were trying to say that love is one of the most important things in life and you should never let it go. With that in mind, I think they did a good job in conveying that message. It was also a very advanced film. I say that because of their use of an actor who was a transvestite. Especially given that in the Latin American culture the transvestites do not play a big part. Using a transvestite opens the dialogue to the LGBTQ group. With dialogue you can advance the knowledge of these people and the argument they have. Danzón was an exceptional movie with a message that many people need to hear. I liked the movie a lot and recommend it to everyone who likes adventure and romantic movies.
Definitely worth the slog

It felt as I were slogging through the first four-fifths of the movie because I couldn't dismiss a feeling of anxiousness caused by not being able to figure out what the conflict was that was being resolved. It wasn't until the very end, when Julia returned from Vera Cruz that I accepted that the slog (Julia's journey of discovery and my sitting through it) was worthwhile. Ostensibly looking for Carmelo, the dancing partner that abandoned her, Julia becomes despondent in Mexico City so she takes a leave of absence from her job as a telephone operator, finds someone to look after her teenage daughter, and goes to Vera Cruz to chase down a sketchy lead. In Vera Cruz she stays in a harbor-side flop house among prostitutes and a disinterested but doting innkeeper, is befriended by a helpful transvestite and finally succumbs to the beauty of a younger tug boat captain. She returns to Mexico City having found herself instead of Carmelo.
A brilliant feminist film saturated with the heat of Veracruz and the beauties of Mexican music and dance.

What would a film for women look like? Well, one possibility is Maria Novaro's wonderful reversal of all of the expectations of male-oriented films. Playing with a number of genres and turning them on their heads, Novaro gives us the story of Julia, an ordinary late thirty-something woman, who, used to playing a traditionally passive, "feminine" role, takes on the active role of searching for her missing danzon partner in a journey that takes her from gloomy Mexico City to sun-drenched Veracruz. In the process she changes from object of the male gaze to bearer of the gaze. The film boasts a super performance from Maria Rojo as Julia and fine supporting performances by Carmen Salinas, Tito Vasconcelos, and Victor Carpenteiro. It is saturated with fantastic Mexican music, especially songs written by Veracruz' native son, Agustin Lara. And then there is the dancing. The danzon, where a single glance may give the game away, becomes a perfect metaphor for Julia's journey of self-discovery.
A Journey Through A Different World
boblipton26 October 2020
The earliest movie I can recall to make extensive use of peoples' feet walking or dancing is the 1914 Marcel Perez comedy AMOR PEDESTRE. When this movie opens with a shot of a dancing couple's feet -- hers in stylish high heels, his in white shoes -- this set a mood of lightheartedness that persisted through.
When María Rojo's dancing partner disappears from Mexico City, it puts a big hole in her life; between her work as a telephone operator, her daughter, dancing with her partner makes up a big part of her life. Rumors fly that he may have stolen money. She tries to trace him, and as the rumors turn out to be false, she finds out he has gone to Vera Cruz. She follows him there, and finds herself amid a world of cheap hotels, prostitutes, and female impersonators. She takes it all in stride, behaving with kindness and courtesy to this foreign world.
María Novaro's movie has a disinterested feel to it, as if Miss Rojo's journey is a travelogue directed by an anthropologist. She gets off the train in Vera Cruz and walks to a nearby hotel with many an admiring glance following her. She walks barefoot into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, she makes friends with some of the female impersonators who offer to help her in her quest, she helps tend the many children at the hotel, but never seems to be engaged in what she is doing; she wants to get back to her normal life, and this drive gives a cool, appraising, uninvolved air to the movie.

A "dance movie" that's also a beautifully shot "road movie"
nancykf28 July 2002
Maria Novaro has made a mini-specialty of what might be called the "women's road movie." (She has described her later "Without a Trace" as "Thelma and Louise" with a happy ending.) Danzon gives us Julia, a 40-ish telephone operator and single mother of a sulky teenager, who leaves her Mexico City routine when her dance partner--about whom she knows little more than his name--seems to disappear. The movie opens up into lush panoramas when Julia reaches Veracruz, a metaphor for her own blossoming self-discovery. The soundtrack alone--old-fashioned "danzons" (Mexican dance music imported from Cuba)--is worth the rental price.
going off on an adventure
ksf-219 November 2020
Like the title says, The Dance ! According to wikipedia: "Danzón is the official musical genre and dance of Cuba. It is also an active musical form in Mexico, and is much loved in Puerto Rico as well. Written in 2/4 time, the danzón is a slow, formal partner dance." In the story, Maria Rojo is Julia, who likes to dance. when she's not dancing, she's working or looking after her daughter in Mexico City. but then Julia's dance partner goes missing. and everyone has their own idea of what might have happened to him. so Julia goes off to VeraCruz to look for him! a fun scene where Julia reads all the ships names in various languages as she walks along the piers. she makes some great new friends, and has a grand adventure. and we get to see some great scenery of VeraCruz. directed by Maria Novaro. Written by Beatriz Novaro. Maria born in 1951. Beatriz born in 1953... sisters? it's fun.
Fails almost completely as a film.
miokey200416 November 2005
This film can hardly be classified as such. It lacks and visual style to distinguish it from other poorly made melodramas. It's characters are almost all stock, save for Julia, who is the only person the audience is supposed to connect with. However, due to a poor performance by the main actress and a horrifically abstract plot, we are unable to connect in any real way with this woman.
Julia runs off to a city she does not know to find her dance partner, and she does not find him, but she does find a new sort of "family" consisting of a drag queen, a hooker, a no-nonsense hotel manager and a man young enough to be her son who she gets to "know" very well. This would be almost satisfying if the film did not first establish her OTHER family by giving the relationship Julia has with her daughter and her friends at home so much screen time. Maybe the "finding herself and her family" story line would have been effective if the viewer did not already feel that she had these things already. This choice makes the whole film obsolete, and instead of making Julia sympathetic, it makes her seem selfish and also very stupid.
But then there is the ending. She returns home to her first family (after abandoning her found family, just like her dance partner had abandoned her--so had she really grown?)and returns to the dance hall, alone and ready to dance without a partner. This is the one act that showed some bravery (the actually brave kind, not the dumb "I'm running off to a strange city alone to spend all my savings looking for one man" kind). FOr a moment, the viewer is left satisfied thinking that the film is allowing its heroine to grow--but then who should appear but Carmelo, her dance partner. The frame is filled by their passion-less dance for what seems like hours, and the end credits begin to roll. This is a wholly unsatisfying ending for two reasons: 1)The film establishes Carmelo to be kind of a God figure, illusive and unobtainable, the perfect being that Julia is going to such ends to be with, and to show us him is just painful. 2)It negates the rest of the plot. Why did we waste so much time on this journey if she didn't really need to take it? Would Carmelo not have come back if she had not befriended a drag queen? The problems with this movie go beyond plot elements. It is very poorly shot. First time director Navaro (who also edited the film) lets the camera linger for far too long on mostly static objects. This halts the pacing of the film, and it occurs many, many times throughout. There is also an amazing amount of fluid camera movements, pans and tilts from one character to another, to a sign, to a building and then back to another camera. It is nauseating to see.
The only thing that keeps me from giving this film a 1 is that it does show single women of a certain age living in Mexico, and it shows them in a positive light. It does not victimize them as single women so often are in Mexican cinema, but deals with them as people who work, who live and who are independent. But this is just not enough to support a film. As a feminist statement, it makes its point, as an entertaining or engaging film, it fails completely.

Lovely
gbill-7487712 November 2020
I love how organic and natural this film felt, showing the rhythm and sensuality of Danzón dancing without resorting to glitziness or fast editing. It's mostly older couples dancing in local dance halls, and there is something stirring about that. The film really isn't about dance per se, it's about a single mother (María Rojo, surprisingly 48 at the time) who has been dancing with a man for years and is taken aback when he stops showing up to the weekly dance night. She travels to Veracruz to try to find him, and the people she meets there, including an old woman working in a hotel, a guy who performs in drag, and a young man she takes as a lover, all make for interesting character studies. There are genuine human connections here and while the film is not heavy on plot or action, I was engaged throughout. Just a lovely film from Maria Novaro.
It's a love thing
tito-1322 October 1998
Julia is a middle aged phone operator in Mexico City who divides her time between her job, her daughter and the "Danzon": an elegant, romantic Cuban dance popular in Caribbean Latin America.
Julia wants to taste one great romance in her life before she feels she will have lost what's left of her beauty. Like a ritual, each Wednesday Julia dances the Danzon with the dashing, mysterious and still handsome Carmelo in the old "Salon Colonia". They've danced for years but barely know each other.
One night Carmelo disappears without a trace. Suddenly bereft, Julia abandons well-regulated obligations and responsibilities and sets off on a long distance odyssey, searching for her missing cavalier. These comic, touching and ultimately triumphant adventures lead Julia to a deeper comprehension of the meaning of life and true happiness.

danzon
mossgrymk7 November 2020
A paean to the redemptive properties of dancing, sisterhood and Vera Cruz (fairly sure that grimy burg's never looked so lushly lovely) this tone poem of a movie is entertaining through its music, cinematography and charming performance by Maria Rojo in the lead. However, director Maria Novaro's pacing is on the slow side, with too many shots of the sexy Julia walking around being admired by horny guys and Novaro's camera. Give it a B.
Wonderful movie, full of deep discussions of gender and sexuality.

Danzón is a fantastic movie which through its exploration of love, lust, and the female experience brings the viewer to laugh and cry and think deeply about the realities of everyday life.
I absolutely adored this movie. I am not usually one for romantic movies. I often find them to be too similar plot-wise to hold my interest for very long, and as a gay man I really do get tired of the lack of representation in movies, or even worse, representation that only furthers homonegative stereotypes. Danzón, however was original in its plot and explored themes of gender and sexuality which are often ignored or barely touched upon in movies. I think the most enjoyable part of the film for me was the degree to which I was able to immerse myself in Julia's experience. From her uncomfortable impromptu "date" in the restaurant, to her fling with a man she didn't really feel much for, to her touching reunion with her dancing partner, I found myself cheering Julia on, hoping she succeeded and lived a happy life. The part of the film I most appreciated, however, was the character Susy. While this depiction of a gay drag queen was not the most perfect thing I've ever seen, it was still fantastically done. Rather than feeling like a comic relief and an accessory to Julia, Susy struck me as a three-dimensional person, full of life and complex emotion. One of the important themes which I found fascinating was the exploration of life as a woman. Oftentimes in this still mostly male-centric world movies focus on male experience and the only aspects of female experience are those which benefit and highlight male experience. In Danzón I felt like I was actually getting a glimpse into what it's like to be a woman. I saw the sexual harassment, the disregard for female feelings and experiences, the use of women for male sexual pleasure. However, none of it felt like it was a plot device meant to further Julia's quest for her love. It felt like the director and writer were actually trying to make the viewer understand intimately the female experience. Overall I give this movie ten stars. I found it just absolutely wonderful, and deserving of the highest praise I can award.

Beautiful story
anapineapple9 October 2017
This movie reminded me of the movie Sube y Baja with Cantinflas. I have always liked movies that have an ocean setting. It seems as if one can just put reality on hold and just live a little. Danzón is one of those movies that has that type of story. We see the everyday life of a woman, Julia, and how a visit to the beach can really make a person feel alive. This movie really emphasizes that even if you do not seek a vacation, it is really needed to fully value what you have or what you need have.
The music, the dancing, and sense of community in the film gives the audience the setting that they are there in Veracruz. The choice of music is lovely, from Augustin Lara to Julio Jaramillo. They sing such romantic songs that adds beautifully to the movie. The instrumental beach music makes it so hard not to dance to.
Overall, it is a movie that stepping out of your circle may not be so bad. You might meet nice people, see beautiful sights, and just enjoy who you really are. You even might set out on a path and end up on another to self understanding. One is never too young to have fun and it is never too late to set out on an adventure. This is a movie that makes me want to fall in love.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a broken heart, or feels as if they are going nowhere in life. I would recommend this movie to anyone who feels suffocated in this point and time in their life. I believe that this movie would put a smile on anyone's face.
Also, make sure to understand all of the names of the boats, they will make you laugh.

IT´S A GREAT MOVIE

It´s a great movie
I saw this movie 13 years ago in a premiere in the former cinema picasso, from then and now I see over and over again this movie.
This movie talks the life of julia (maria rojo) his behavior in the job (operator phone) his daughter, and his principal passion the dance calls "DANZON".
Every wednesday she goes to dance with a friend and she meets with his partner in dance carmelo, One day he don´t return to dance and then julia are looking for him (she thinks he has a problem with the mexican laws and he runs away to veracruz), she´s sad by the notice and she runs to veracruz for make a search for him.
In this movie we looking in a frame the old mexican rairoad calls "EL MEXICANO" and all the city of veracruz.
She meets new people, new friends (specially a man dressed like a woman)a hooker, the owner of the hotel and a younger man when she discover she´s still atractive by the men (the russian guy, carmelo, the young man).
The movie take´s a trip in the life of julia before and after and finish when she leaves veracruz and meet again carmelo and they dance
If you have the oportunitty to see the movie in tv or dvd or vhs SEE IT because it´s the few mexican movies made perfectly
my qualification 10/10
