"I Don't Know What Your Eyes Have Done to Me" follows the life of once famous tango singer and actress Ada Falcón, illicit lover of composer Francisco Canaro and perhaps of the legendary Carlos Gardel. The title refers to a song inspired by Ada's seductive, green eyes. A big star in the 30s, she suddenly disappeared without a word in the 40s and was never seen again. A variety of photographs and film clips offer a taste of the glamour that characterized her days in the limelight, while surviving witnesses in current day Argentina are asked to shed some light on her motives for leaving behind her successful career. Could heartbreak or a spiritual quest for God have been the cause of her mysterious departure? The directors try to put together the pieces of the puzzle in what feels like an eerily nostalgic, contemplative and beautifully narrated detective story inhabited by spirits of the past. Some viewers may be turned off by the film's slow pace and relatively muted presentation. Others will be fascinated by its very personal approach towards Ada and its meditation on tango, human emotions and the passing of time.
