Last Tango in Paris

Legendary Italian writer and director Bernardo Bertolucci joined forces with legendary actor Marlon Brando for this landmark masterpiece. A middle aged American man haunted by his wife suicide starts an anonymous sexual relationship with a Parisian girl that alters their lives. Never before or after in the history of cinema has a film addressed sexuality in a more mature and honest way than this film. Therefore much credit goes to Bertolucci and Brando for daring and delivering a film of unparalleled scope. It's even more astonishing that Brando followed his legendary performance in The Godfather with another astonishing performance which clearly makes him the greatest actor in the history of cinema. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
