Last Tango In Paris
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
Going way back to 1972 you’ve got Last Tango In Paris with Marlon Brando adn Maria Schneider as directed Bernardo Bertolucci.
Highly provocative in it’s time, what would American parents say about it today? Would it stil be excitingly ‘bad’ or simply viewed as ‘near porn’?
“Crazed with grief after his wife commits suicide, Paul, an American expatriate, roams the streets of Paris until, while apartment hunting, he faces Jeanne, an unknown girl across an empty room. Brutally, without a word, he rapes the soon-compliant stranger. Paul stays at the scene after the rape. While arranging his wife’s funeral, Paul leases the apartment where he is to meet the puzzled girl for a series of frenzied afternoons.”
