(Bernardo Bertolucci, 1972, 136m, Italy & France, in French w/subtitles, English, DVD) Originally famed for its sexual frankness, Bertolucci’s “Last Tango” has endured due to sophisticated storytelling and performances of Marlon Brando, Maria Schneider, and Jean-Pierre Leaud (in a Bertolucci-satirizing role). Meeting by chance in an apartment for rent, nothing is taboo in the casual, intense encounter of these characters, so different in age, experience & desire. A groundbreaking erotic drama.
