Product Description
Product Description
Penetrate the moody, sensual world of Last Tango in Paris, and prepare yourself for "the most controversial film of its era" (Leonard Maltin). Nominated for two Academy Awards® Director (Bernardo Bertolucci) and Actor (Marlon Brando) and exuding a sexual energy unlike any film before or after, this is the scintillating classic that shocked a nation... and "altered the face of an art form" (Pauline Kael). He (Brando) is a 45-year old American living in Paris, haunted by his wife's suicide. She (Maria Schneider, Jane Eyre) is a 20-year-old Parisian beauty engaged to a young filmmaker. Though nameless to each other, these tortured souls come together to satisfy their sexual cravings in an apartment as bare as their dark, tragic lives. Caught up in the frenzied beat of a carnal dance they cannot seem to stop, these unlikely lovers take their passion to erotic heights and depths beyond anything they could ever have imagined.
Set Contains:
"This is a movie people will be arguing about," said Pauline Kael in a famous 1972 review, "for as long as there are movies." The film was Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris, which the New Yorker critic deemed a watershed in film history. The Blu-ray disc of Last Tango won't settle any longstanding arguments about the film: Is it a masterpiece? A sex film? A bore? Or, in Kael's opinion, "a film that has made the strongest impression on me in almost twenty years of reviewing"? Whatever side you're on, Last Tango remains an "event" film in the best sense, a bold experiment and a collision of some remarkable talents. Bertolucci was at the height of his ambitions, and Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider, as the two strangers who strike up an anonymous sexual relationship that turns emotional, can fairly be said to give everything they've got. (In his autobiography, Brando frankly admitted that the toll of giving his gutsy performance made him decide never to go that deep for a movie again.) The Blu-ray is advertised as an "uncut version," although it does not contain new material; its running time is the same as its initial release (the initially X-rated film has occasionally been available in very slightly shorter versions). The visual presentation is clean without looking immaculate or overly digitized, which is fitting for a film made in 1972, and it is an improvement over previous home-video versions. As a statement, Last Tango may be murky; but as a journey, it's unforgettable. --Robert Horton

I've been watching a lot of Brando movies since he died, and he is never less than mesmerizing -- even when he is infuriating. (See "The Missouri Breaks," say, or "Mutiny on the Bounty.") His performance in "Last Tango" is the best he ever gave, and one of the finest ever committed to film by any actor.
The movie is not all Brando, of course. Bertolucci conceived the whole thing, had a hand in the dialogue, and somehow got his actors to go places they were probably reluctant to go. I mention the dialogue, because it must have imprinted itself in my memory: I had not seen the movie since I went to see it (and immediately see it again) in a threatre when it was released, but I remembered long patches of words, particularly the soliloquies, almost as if I had memorized them. I had forgotten how good Maria Schneider is, and how callow Jean-Pierre Leaud is made to seem. I did not remember the Francis Bacon paintings at the start, with the titles. (I wonder, in fact, if they were not used in the U.S. version that I saw originally.) I remembered the wailing saxophone of Gato Barbieri -- but forgot that the soundtrack is actually by Oliver Nelson. I also forgot that Vittorio Storaro shot the film, for the most part in a cold, washed-out light that is untypical of him.
All that said, however, it is primarily Brando, and about the last time we got to see him working with a great director and invested in his own performance. It is instructive to watch "Last Tango" back-to-back with "The Godfather." Both movies were released the same year (1972), and must have been filmed within a short time of each other; but I can imagine someone unfamiliar with Marlon Brando watching the two performances and not realizing the same actor gave them both. In the role of Vito Corleone, he is all craft and externals. As Paul in "Last Tango," he seems emotionally naked, pulling the character from within. It is as brave a performance as you'll ever see.
This is one of those films where you either love it or hate it. Like the opera, you either love it or hate it. Unfortunately I hated this film. From the way they "hooked" up, to the way they told his story... and of course, the ending, what the hell was that?! The movie comes off as too scattered. Like they could not decide which road to take in telling his story to get you to care. So they just threw in a bunch of scenes. I did not feel sorry nor care for any of the main characters. The only reason why I sat and watched the whole movie, was because I bought it.. Highly, Highly disappointing... I can't believe my mother went to the theater to see this film when it came out. But it speaks volumes that my mom (Marlon Brando lover that she is) could not even remember that his wife killed herself and he is this "tortured" guy just trying to deal. All she remembered was that it was a racy film for 1972. But what are reviews anyway? Just someone elses opinion. Not your own. So if you wish to see this film watch it. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't... The world makes sense again.

Beautifully shot, the movie is both sensual and mildly erotic with enchanting Paris as a background…
It’s a last tango indeed and one we can never forget.
