  LAST TANGO IN PARIS
LAST TANGO IN PARIS premiered on October 14, 1972 and was immediately deemed as shocking as it was controversial.
Yet, TANGO did not lead to a new revolution in adult cinema, as films within the next five years lead to the domination of the big, event blockbusters aimed at youth that is still felt today.
TANGO is the culmination of everything Brando brought to the film world and inspired countless others to emulate and copy.

Bernardo Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris" is one of the great emotional experiences of our time.
Paul in "Last Tango in Paris" has no difficulty in achieving an erection, but the gravest difficulty in achieving a life-affirming reason for one.
I went to see "Last Tango in Paris" again because it is being revived at Facets Multimedia, that temple of great cinema, where the largest specialized video sales operation in the world subsidizes a little theater where people still gather to see great film projected through celluloid onto a screen.

Watching Bernardo Bertolucci's "Last Tango in Paris" 23 years after it was first released is like revisiting the house where you used to live, and did wild things you don't do anymore.
"Last Tango" premiered, in case you have forgotten, on Oct. 14, 1972.
The scene in the tango hall is still haunting, still part of the whole movement of the third act of the film, in which Paul, having created a searing moment out of time, now throws it away in drunken banality.

 Last Tango in Paris
Bertolucci, Bernardo, and Franco Arcalli, Last Tango in Paris, New York, 1973.
A piece of filmmaking that earned its creator a suspended two-month prison sentence in his native Italy and an X-rating in the U.S., Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is a heartbreaking, revelatory masterpiece which has not aged one bit since its completion, a quarter of a century ago.
This is why Last Tango is rooted in sex, and this is why the sex in it is so fierce and unerotic.

 Bernardo Bertolucci: Last Tango in Paris | Features | Guardian Unlimited Film
From a court in Bologna that banned Last Tango in Paris: "Obscene content offensive to public decency...
The first ban lasted only two months, though an Italian court later had a negative burned, revoked Bertolucci's civil rights for five years and gave him a four-month suspended prison sentence.
Last Tango is certainly the film that catapulted Bertolucci towards international fame, the story of a middle-aged man, who, devastated by the apparent suicide of his wife, embarks on a purely sexual sadomasochistic affair with a young girl, who, in the end, kills him.

While Last Tango in Paris set new standards (or abolished old ones) with respect to explicitness of sexuality in art films, Luna (1979) abrogated another sexual taboo in depicted mother/son incest.
Last Tango in Paris had a lot of difficulty escaping the red pen of various censors.
In my opinion, Last Tango in Paris is most fundamentally about what men and women want from one another in sexual relationships – the “this” and the “that” of it, which come down to giving pleasure or getting pleasure.

Bernardo Bertolucci's best film Last Tango in Paris is a film that is possibly the only X rated art film, unless you count out Midnight Cowboy and Clockwork Orange (I wouldn't).
He plays a man who's wife had just commited suicide and decides to have a sexual binging in Paris with a young girl.
The encounters aren't a prostitutional type of thing, but rather a weird escape for the two of them from they're lives (which is what they need).

But when everything is said and done, LAST TANGO IN PARIS is extremely thin stuff that relies on sexual shock to generate tension--and what was once shocking is now passe.
At the time TANGO was made, it was unthinkable that a major Hollywood star would appear in such a film...
Last Tango in Paris certainly ranks among Marlon Brando's greatest acting achievements he improvised a significant portion of his part, as he makes us care about his distraught, damaged, misogynistic character.

In fact, Bertolucci went so far as to base Last Tango on the work of Francis Bacon, widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century.
While they were in Paris ready to begin shooting of the film, Bertolucci and Marlon Brando, the film's star, saw a show of Bacon's images.
The woman shown in them is cleaning the blood out of the bathtub, and has been filmed through textured glass such that her face is distorted in a way that recalls Bacon's faces.

 Last Tango in Paris
Bernardo Bertolucci's controversial 1973 film stars Marlon Brando as an expatriate American in Paris reeling from his wife's suicide and entering into a nihilistic sexual relationship with a young woman (Maria Schneider).
The film is still shocking, not simply because of its (sometime unconventional) sexual sequences, but because Brando's protagonist needs his liaison with Schneider's character to remain anonymous, an experience not to be shared but indulged on either end.
Last Tango in Paris received Academy Awards nominations for Best Actor (Marlon Brando) and Directing (Bernardo Bertolucci).

Although some of the smoky sax solos get a little uncomfortably close to 1970s fusion cliché, Gato Barbieri's score to Bertolucci's 1972 classic is an overall triumph.
"Last Tango in Paris" is a particular standout, its orgiastic, wordless vocal yelps reflecting, whether by design or not, the actual content of the movie.
The 1998 CD reissue is by no means just a substitute for the old vinyl; it more than doubles the length of the original release with a "Last Tango in Paris Suite," put together by Barbieri himself from 29 cues from the original score as used in the film.

Argentinian jazz-fusion composer/performer Gato Barbieri (real name Leandro Jose Barbieri) had worked with Bertolucci before when he was asked to contribute his Saxophone playing to the Gino Paoli songs that accompanied Ennio Morricone's score for the director's 1964 film Before the Revolution.

Paul (Marlon Brando) is an American living in Paris whose wife Rosa (Veronica Lazar) has recently committed suicide for no apparent reason (well, at least as far as the story goes - however, living with Marlon Brando would be enough I would have thought).
The Last Tango In Paris is self-indulgent rubbish that should be avoided at all costs in my view, unless you really need a natural remedy for insomnia - in which case the film will suit you down to the ground.
The depth of the fls here is most noteworthy, although this ends up being bit of a problem as it compounds the lack of shadow detail, as well as providing a perfect highlight for film artefacts.

He really was one of the greatest actors of all times and his performance in Last Tango in Paris more than proves it.
Truth is, it's also probably the last film where Brando demonstrated why he was considered one of America's best actors.
