Review of Last Tango in Paris (1972) by Marli S — 13 Apr 2009
Perhaps I may be speaking blasphemy to all the serious devotees of this prententious film ( I do respect you all though), but "Last Tango in Paris" gets my vote as the most overrated film in cinema history (with "2001: A Space Odyssey" running a very close second.).
Even if you're a total Brando fanatic, you shouldn't have to subject yourself to this torturously slow film, which has no discernable point outside of its supposed shock value elements, which are only shocking because they're so tastelessly crass and boring, making the film utterly dated. In fact, you can probably enjoy it purely for its innumerable unintentioned laughs.
I hated it.
