Last Tango in Paris

Screening at BERTOLUCCI - A Film Series, on October 18, 2014, at the Castro Theatre, in San Francisco.

--- Last Tango in Paris (Ultimo tango a Parigi) - 128 minutes

Marlon Brando received an Academy Award nomination as Paul, a middle-aged American who comes to Paris when his estranged wife commits suicide. After meeting a young Frenchwoman by the name of Jeanne (Maria Schneider), Paul enters into a sadomasochistic, carnal relationship of outrageous sexual behavior with her. The combination of the explicit sexual content, Brando's performance, and Bertolucci's direction (for which he also received another Academy Award nomination), makes this an art house classic.

Written by Bernardo Bertolucci and Franco Arcalli. Photographed by Vittorio Storaro. Starring Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider. Print Source: Istituto Luce-Cinecittá S.r.L.. Permission: Park Circus
