Dancing Salsa

-- Your friends are out of town and it is raining and cold. It's the perfect excuse to go to Mango's Latin Dance Night. Featuring salsa, merengue, bachata, and reggaeton, Mango's claims to be the oldest continuously operating dance night of its kind. Keep in mind that the Milky Way's days are numbered. If you don't go now, you may never have the chance. Milky Way Lounge, 403 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 9 p.m. $10.

Movies

-- Masaki Kobayashi was the master of Japanese socially conscious cinema, and his 587 minute-long masterpiece The Human Condition (1959-1961) remains a searing statement of humanism and pacifism in the aftermath of one of the most destructive wars in human history. Rarely screened in its entirety, the MFA will show film in three parts. Remis Auditorium, Museum of Fine Arts. Tickets and showtimes.
