"...I was all dressed up to go out and take this girl to a basketball game. And I started to go out and my father said, "You have to milk the cow." And I asked him, "Would you please milk it for me?" And he said, "No, get your ass out there." So I went out, and I was in a hurry and didn't have time to change my shoes, and I had cow shit all over my shoes, and on the way to the basketball game it smelled in the car."

This movie will remain in my memories since this was the last movie that I saw in my old apartment. It was sensual alright but I cannot use words such as "shocking" or "provocative" under the circumstances of the current standards of cinema. Movie portrays feelings of emptiness and loss perfectly. The various and unpredictable reactions that comes from human nature was even more applaudable. Don't expect too much.

Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris simultaneously mocks and mourns the human yearning for love and companionship. The movie is a requiem for unrequited love, and a testament to the proclivity of humans to surrogate love with lust when trapped in a maelstrom of despondence, chagrin, and compunction. The full review is present at: http://apotpourriofvestiges.blogspot.com/2011/12/last-tango-in-paris-1972.html

A reminder of how humans are just animals in disguise. The sound design compliments the mise en scene and pacing beautifully. It's pure, it's animalistic, it's real, it's passion.

Like Von Trier Tango plumbs despair to find a way out. Lushly lensed and scored (saxophones are sex), agedBrando, betrayed by the civilized institution of marriage, clings to its opposite - obscenity, degradation, violence, filth. To purge himself he exploits a nymphet who finds herself torn between a new, freer way of being and a normal lover whose worship feels safe. The last 30 minutes are alive and heartbreaking.

I think we all know who won that dance, don't we. "Our children will remember..." Man, tons of great funny lines, really good film if you want some good laughs. Not pornographic at all tho, just a lot of hair and some good comments on love. "better to hide your crabs"

The film that defines transgressive heterosexuality and the "safe houses" where eroticism, the most underrated philosophical stance, is expressed as a tool against social repression. My personal favorite film.

While not perfect, a film whose beauty tends to catch me every time I sit down with it. The filmmaker boyfriend aspect tends to detract from it as a whole, but once Jeanne returns to the apartment, the dream blooms again...

Teaches everything there is to know about men and women, guys and girls cunts and pricks. Brando is superb. FUCKING GOD! indeed!

The story could ended up gracefully in the Tango scene. But no, Bertolucci wanted a tragic end to the sexual and transgressive relationship of the characters. Anyhow, it's still one of the most exotic love stories in the history of world cinema and probably one of the best Bertolucci film. (I feel sorry for Maria Schneider though) I honestly love them film.

I'm becoming a Bertolucci's fan! He thinks and makes the scenes in a way that really turns me on. The story in Last Tango isn't 'that big story', but all the sexual atmosphere tranform the spectator(we) in a voyer that we never imagine we could be! haha. Beside, Marlon Brando is totally amazing! He never never fails.

If name is master, the premise of the deal is valid since it has just come out of a marriage that ended in tragic situations. She is about to marry a man who wanted to love but can not. It lacks what she finds attractive but troubled in America: an intimate relationship as not to leave the domains of the apartment.

A mi entender, extremadamente pretenciosa y falsamente "artística" con un Brando deseoso de interpretar a su propio mito...

Aluguei o filme com altas expectativas, mas não fiquei tão encantada assim. Aliás, fiquei entediada e não via a hora do filme acabar. Sorry, Brando.

Intense drama which I think can't be fully understood rationally. You must feel it viscerally. The plot explores the possibility of a strong affair, ruled only by sex. Bertolucci unfolds the script stylishly. Moreover, Brando is superb against a brave enough Schneider. The photography is natural and at the same time wildly natural. I didn't appreciate so highly the music. All in all, a very moving modern old picture.
