Tango libre is a 2012 comedy film directed by Frédéric Fonteyne. In January 2014 the film received ten nominations at the 4th Magritte Awards.[2]

The film centers on complicated personal relations between some prisoners in a French prison, their family members, and prison guards. A constant theme underlying the action is Argentine tango, which is learnt by many characters, both inside and outside the prison.
