(1973, Bernardo Bertolucci) Post-sexual revolution Brief Encounter à Paris, as tormented widower Marlon Brando makes immediate contact with funky Maria Schneider in an empty apartment. Bernardo Bertolucci's succèss de scandale retains its impact today, keyed by Brando's powerful and most self-revelatory performance. With Jean-Pierre Léaud. Approx. 129 min.

| "...a last glimpse of Brando before he walled himself up in a pyramid of flesh. The movie has the effect of a slow-developing photograph. The star ages before your eyes." – J. Hoberman, The Village Voice "Some films need to be seen afresh, at regular intervals... one such is Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris." – Anthony Lane, The New Yorker. Click here to read full article "Bertolucci has carried film honesty to its ultimate. It is a standard for looking at films of the past and judging films of the future." – Robert Altman "The movie breakthrough has finally come... This must be the most powerfully erotic movie ever made, and it may turn out to be the most liberating movie ever made... Bertolucci and Brando have altered the face of an art form." – Pauline Kael |
