Review of Last Tango in Paris (1972) by Gary B — 19 Feb 2011
Some critics call this the most erotic thriller ever, not after my opinion, more of the most horrifying sex films ever. The technical achievement are great, the cinematography, the colours and the musical score. And ofcorse Marlon Brando is amazing as always, but here he has taken it to the next elevel,.
This is the dreadful tale about middle-aged American hotel owner named Paul (Brando) who's mourning over his wife's suicide. But one day Paul staks a engaged parisian girl named Jeanne (Maria Schneider) and both have sex with eachother in one of Paul apartments, He don't want to know anyrhing about her, he don't want to know her name, so they can only fucusing on their hot sex.
The Last Tango In Paris is a thrilling and extremely dreadful picture, the dark orange rooms with no life at all. It's so dreadful that no wonder why Paul wife killed herself. Marlon Brando is suberb and play his role to the maximum, it is he who is the whole movie. His more extreme than ever, with his dirty, filthy and perverted language. Some times this can be to much. The film also features Antoine Doinel star Jean-Pierre Léaud as Jeanne's fiance Tom who is a parody of the french Cahiers du cinéma filmmakers such as Truffaut and Godard. It's fun to see them moked.
