Last Tango in Paris

Bertolucci's graphic and harrowing account of sexual obsession, grief, psychic breakdown and murder; a film which led to charges of obscenity for the director, actors, and producer upon its release in Italy in 1972.

Last Tango in Paris is one of the most controversial films ever made, with Marlon Brando in an electrifying performance as a distraught American who plunges into a wild sexual relationship with a young French girl, played by Maria Schneider..

"Brando and Schneider seem natural and spontaneous. In a film posited on two characters remaining strangers, Bertolucci and his actors achieve a kind of intimacy the movies rarely approach. " - Roger Ebert
