5.0 out of 5 stars unmatched masterclass in acting, 13 May 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Last Tango In Paris [DVD] [1973] (DVD)

Please abandon any pre-conceptions you have about this film straight away, it will not be what you expect. I was extremely hesitant about purchasing this dvd, not least because of the back covers description which leads you to believe this is nothing more than a softcore porn trip. In fact this film is far from sexually explicit and now appears thoroughly undeserving of the controversy it caused. It is, however, a moody, atmospheric, brilliant piece of film making. I only brought this as i was a firm Brando believer, and his performance here is astounding, the best i have seen in any picture, and i have seen a lot. He oozes a gritty sensuality no other actor has ever approached, and the closing shot as he stands on the balcony is both heartbreaking and awe inspiring. In my opinion one of the most underrated movies ever.A masterpiece. Must buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watching a Car Crash, 2 Jun 2003

By	Steven Moses - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Last Tango In Paris [VHS] [1973] (VHS Tape)

Infamous for one particular scene LTIP is Brando's greatest performance. Brando has been criticised in the past by fellow actors for scene stealing. But Brando is such a rivetting actor to watch and you can't help but be drawn to him in whatever role he plays. But only Brando could have played this role with the delicate mix of agressive bully and tender lover. It is a hugely narcisstic role made all the more fascinating by the dialogue that one assumes is improvisation from Brando as it includes some autobiographical content. It is a very ponderous and slow moving film in parts and quite depressing. But Brando keeps it moving, keeps us thinking and even though he is a hateful man we still feel for his character right to the pitiful end. Simply awesome to this tour de force. Buy it. Now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gives a wry smile., 14 Nov 2003

By	R Jess "Raymond Jess" (Limerick, Ireland.) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Last Tango In Paris [VHS] [1973] (VHS Tape)

Brando's performance in this film is full of vim and vigour, always bordering on the comic, especially in the scene with his dead wife. Bertolucci had begun psychoanalysis just a couple of years before and his penchant to indulge Brando seems to be a direct result of this.

In retrospect much of the film's theme could be interpreted as misogynistic, there's certainly a lot of female fear aroused as a direct result of male aggression whether by Brando or Schneider's boyfriend. In fact 30 years down the line Maria Schneider has disowned this film, citing it as 'exploitative'. Nevertheless the film was considered quite bold for its time, even if what makes audiences uncomfortable about this film now is not quite the same as what made them uncomfortable 30 years ago. After feminism, Aids and the 60's backlash that was the '80's, 'Last Tango In Paris' looks shockingly naive in its view of sexual relationships. I think a lot of women today would find the Schneider character slightly embaressing in her vapid earnestness.

You have to give it to Brando though, he does get a digit probing by Maria Schneider, now thats true dedication to his craft! I can't imagine a Grade A Hollywood actor of today such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt or Tom Hanks engaging in such thespian devotion, too much of a 'masculine' image to maintain. Which just goes to show how little risk mainstream Hollywood actors are prepared to indulge in nowadays compared to just a generation ago.
