- Lost Opportunity"Last Tango" is a demonstration of how a good director and one great performance do not a masterpiece make. On paper it looks promising: a film about casual sex as emotional recovery, when a middle-aged American man, Paul, (Brando) embarks on a mindless animalistic fling with a pretty student, Jeanne (Maria Scheider) who, for reasons which are never entirely clear, melts into his arms at their first encounter, as two prospective tenants looking over a flat to rent. Eventually his numbed emotions ... Read More

- Fantastic soundtrack,shame about the filmBertolucci's 1973 film created the most amazing furore on release,largely due to it's(for the time)sexual frankness.Anyone who has watched modern porn will wonder what the fuss was about.
It's a film about a US expat(Brando),recently widowed,who hooks up with a younger woman(Schneider)for a no-strings sex-only relationship.The rest of the film charts this relationship to it's end.Schneider naked certainly has her charms,the same can't be said about Brando,surely the most overrated actor ever. ...

- Where Sex acts as a refugeIt was, in short, a film about sex and the way that human beings use sex as a refuge, a release, and a weapon... The frank dialog, the nudity, and the simulated sex were not gratuitously employed but were integral to the theme of the film, and if the picture was not totally successful, it was certainly unforgettable...
Marlon Brando appears as a middle-aged American--but not the kind of American in Paris glorified by either George Gershwin or Ernest Hemingway... This is a man tormented ... Read More

- AstonishingBrendan Clarke ha scriotta: There's a lot wrong with this movie, but the core of the plot is not without interest. The main characters test each others love to the max. Timing of their actions also comes into play, and has a great deal to do with the outcome of these lovers' fates. I see what the director/writer was trying to do, and if Brando had been controlled a bit more, the film wouldn't have come off as being a bit silly in so many scenes. A case in point are the the infamous "butter" and the ... Read More

- Stunning performance by BrandoOn the cover of the paperback edition of my novel A Perfectly Natural Act there is the blurb: "As compelling as Last Tango in Paris!" (This is not a shameless plug since my novel is long out of print.) When your work is touted as being "like" some earlier, successful work, you can be sure what is really being said is your work is not all that good and needs some hype to move it off the shelves.
So it took me 33 years to finally get around to watching "Last Tango..." and that is all to ... Read More
