Last Tango in Paris (Italian: Ultimo tango a Parigi; French: Le Dernier Tango à Paris) is a 1972 eroticdrama film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci which portrays a recently widowed American who begins an anonymous sexual relationship with a young Parisian woman. It stars Marlon Brando, Maria Schneider, and Jean-Pierre Léaud.
The film's raw portrayal of sexual violence and emotional turmoil led to international controversy and drew various levels of government censorship in different venues. Upon release in the United States, the most graphic scene was cut and the MPAA gave the film an X rating. After revisions were made to the MPAA ratings code, in 1997 the film was re-classified NC-17 for 'some explicit sexual content'. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released a censored R-rated cut in 1981.

Plot[edit]
Paul (Marlon Brando), a middle-aged American hotel owner mourning the suicide of his wife Rosa, meets a young, engaged Parisian woman named Jeanne (Maria Schneider) at an apartment that both are interested in renting. Paul takes the apartment after they begin an anonymous sexual relationship there. He insists that neither of them must share any personal information, even given names. The affair continues until one day, Jeanne arrives at the apartment and finds that Paul has packed up and left without warning.
Paul later meets Jeanne on the street and says he wants to renew the relationship. He tells her of the recent tragedy of his wife. As he tells his life story, they walk into a tango bar, where he continues telling her about himself. The loss of anonymity disillusions Jeanne about their relationship. She tells Paul she does not want to see him again. Paul, not wanting to let Jeanne go, chases her back to her apartment, where he tells her he loves her and wants to know her name.
Jeanne takes a gun from a drawer. She tells Paul her name and shoots him. Paul staggers out onto the balcony, mortally wounded, and collapses. As Paul dies, a dazed Jeanne mutters to herself that he was just a stranger who tried to rape her and she did not know who he was, as if in a rehearsal, preparing herself for questioning by the police.

Production[edit]
Bernardo Bertolucci developed the film from his sexual fantasies: 'He once dreamed of seeing a beautiful nameless woman on the street and having sex with her without ever knowing who she was'.[5] The screenplay was by Bertolucci, Franco Arcalli, and Agnès Varda (additional dialogue). It was later adapted as a novel by Robert Alley. The film was directed by Bertolucci with cinematography by Vittorio Storaro.
Bertolucci originally intended to cast Dominique Sanda, who developed the idea with him, and Jean-Louis Trintignant. Trintignant refused and, when Brando accepted, Sanda was pregnant and decided not to do the film.[5]
An art lover, Bertolucci drew inspiration from the works of the Irish-born British artist Francis Bacon for the opening sequence of cast and crew credits.[6] According to American artist Andy Warhol, the Last Tango film was based on Warhol's own Blue Movie film released a few years earlier in 1969.[7]
After the film's release, criminal proceedings were brought in Italy against the film for 'esasperato pansessualismo fine a se stesso'('aggravated, gratuitous pansexualism'). The final judgment of the Court of Appeal (Cassazione) delivered on 29 January 1976 ordered that the film be seized by the censorship commission and that all copies be destroyed. Scriptwriter Franco Arcalli, producer Alberto Grimaldi, director Bernardo Bertolucci, and Marlon Brando were each given suspended sentences of two months imprisonment.
Rape scene[edit]
The film contains a scene in which Brando's character anally rapes Schneider's character using butter as a lubricant. While the rape is simulated, the scene still had a tremendously negative effect on Schneider. In a 2006 interview, Schneider said that the scene was not in the script and that 'when they told me, I had a burst of anger. Woo! I threw everything. And nobody can force someone to do something not in the script. But I didn't know that'.[8]In 2007, Schneider recounted feelings of sexual humiliation pertaining to the rape scene:
They only told me about it before we had to film the scene and I was so angry. I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can't force someone to do something that isn't in the script, but at the time, I didn't know that. Marlon said to me: 'Maria, don't worry, it's just a movie', but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn't real, I was crying real tears. I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn't console me or apologise. Thankfully, there was just one take.[9]
In 2011, Bertolucci denied that he 'stole her youth' (she was 19 at the time of filming), and commented, 'The girl wasn't mature enough to understand what was going on.'[10] Schneider remained friends with Brando until his death in 2004, but never made up with Bertolucci. She also claimed that Brando and Bertolucci 'made a fortune' from the film while she made very little money.[9]
Schneider died in 2011. In February 2013, Bertolucci spoke about the film's effect on Schneider on the Dutch television show College Tour. In the interview, Bertolucci clarified that although the rape scene was in the script, the detail of using butter as a lubricant was improvised the day of shooting and Schneider did not know about the use of the butter beforehand. Bertolucci said that 'I feel guilty, but I don't regret it.'[11][12] In September 2013, Bertolucci spoke again about the scene at a retrospective at the Cinémathèque Française, claiming that the scene was in the script but the use of butter was not. Bertolucci said that he and Brando 'decided not to say anything to Maria to get a more realistic response'.[13]
In November 2016, a slightly different version of the 2013 College Tour interview was uploaded to YouTube[14] by the Spanish nonprofit El Mundo de Alycia on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women,[15] accompanied by a statement concluding that the scene 'abused [Schneider] psychologically and, who knows if also, physically...'[16] This gained attention when Yahoo! Movies writer Tom Butler wrote an article about it[17] prompting several celebrities to condemn the film and Bertolucci[18] and a number of newspapers picked up on the story, reporting that Bertolucci had 'confessed' to Schneider being raped on set, prompting Bertolucci to release a statement, clarifying that a simulation and not an actual intercourse took place.[19][15]
Bertolucci also shot a scene which showed Brando's genitals, but in 1973 explained, 'I had so identified myself with Brando that I cut it out of shame for myself. To show him naked would have been like showing me naked.'[20] Schneider declared in an interview that 'Marlon said he felt raped and manipulated by it and he was 48. And he was Marlon Brando!'.[20] Like Schneider, Brando confirmed that the sex was simulated.[15]Bertolucci said about Brando that he was 'a monster as an actor and a darling as a human being'. Brando refused to speak to Bertolucci for 15 years after the production was completed. Bertolucci said:
I was thinking that it was like a dialogue where he was really answering my questions in a way. When at the end of the movie, when he saw it, I discovered that he realized what we were doing, that he was delivering so much of his own experience. And he was very upset with me, and I told him, 'Listen, you are a grown-up. Older than me. Didn't you realize what you were doing?' And he didn't talk to me for years.[21][22]
However;
I called him one day in '93, I think, I was in LA and my wife was shooting a movie. First of all, he answered the phone, and he was talking to me like we had seen each other a day earlier. He said, 'Come here.' I said, 'When?' He said, 'Now.' So I remember driving on Mulholland Drive to his home and thinking I think I won't make it, I think I will crash before [I get there]. I was so emotional.
Francis Bacon influence[edit]
The film's opening credits include two paintings by Francis Bacon: Double Portrait of Lucian Freud and Frank Auerbach and Study for a Portrait of Isabel Rawsthorne. The hues used in the film were inspired by the paintings of Bacon.[23] During pre-production, Bertolucci frequently visited an exhibit of Bacon's paintings at the Grand Palais in Paris; he said that the light and colour in Bacon's paintings reminded him of Paris in the winter, when
the lights of the stores are on, and there is a very beautiful contrast between the leaden gray of the wintry sky and the warmth of the show windows...the light in the paintings was the major source of inspiration for the style we were looking for.[24]
Bacon's painting style often depicted human skin like raw meat and the painter's inspiration included meat hanging in a butcher shops window and human skin diseases.[24]
Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro had previously worked with Bertolucci on The Conformist and often used an azure hue in the film. Storaro later told a reporter that
after The Conformist I had a moment of crisis; I was asking myself: what can come after azure?...I did not have the slightest idea that an orange film could be born. We needed another kind of emotion...It was the case of Last Tango.[24]
For Last Tango in Paris, Bertolucci and Storaro took inspiration from Bacon's paintings by using 'rich oranges, light and cool grays, icy whites, and occasional reds combine[d] with Bertolucci's own tasteful choices of soft browns, blond browns, and delicate whites with bluish and pink shadings'.[25]
Bertolucci took Marlon Brando to the Bacon exhibit and told Brando that he 'wanted him to compare himself with Bacon's human figures because I felt that, like them, Marlon's face and body were characterized by a strange and infernal plasticity. I wanted Paul to be like the figures that obsessively return in Bacon: faces eaten by something coming from the inside.'[24]
Brando's lines[edit]
As was his practice in previous films, Brando refused to memorise his lines for many of the scenes. Instead he wrote his lines on cue cards and posted them around the set, leaving Bertolucci with the problem of keeping them out of the picture frame. During his long monologue over the body of his wife, for example, Brando's dramatic lifting of his eyes upward is not spontaneous dramatic acting but a search for his next cue card.[26] Brando asked Bertolucci if he could 'write lines on Maria's rear end', which the director rejected.[20]

AllMusic | [27] |
The film score was composed by Gato Barbieri, arranged and conducted by Oliver Nelson, and the soundtrack album was released on the United Artists label.[28][29]AllMusic's Richie Unterberger noted 'Although some of the smoky sax solos get a little uncomfortably close to 1970s fusion cliché, Gato Barbieri's score to Bertolucci's 1972 classic is an overall triumph. Suspenseful jazz, melancholy orchestration, and actual tangos fit the film's air of erotic longing, melancholy despair, and doomed fate'.[27]

Post-production[edit]
Last Tango in Paris was edited by Franco Arcalli and Roberto Perpignani.
Reception[edit]
The film opened in late 1972 in France, where filmgoers stood in two-hour queues for the first month of its run at the seven cinemas where it was screened.[26] It gained unanimous positive reviews in every major French publication.[30] To circumvent state censorship, thousands of Spaniards travelled hundreds of kilometers to reach French cinemas in Biarritz and Perpignan where Tango was playing.[31] Following that, it was released in the United States, Great Britain, and other venues.
The film generated considerable controversy because of its subject and graphic portrayal of sex. Schneider provided frank interviews in the wake of Tango's controversy, claiming she had slept with 50 men and 70 women, that she was 'bisexual completely', and that she had used heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. She also said of Bertolucci, 'He's quite clever and more free and very young. Everybody was digging what he was doing, and we were all very close.'[32]
During the publicity for the film's release, Bertolucci said Schneider developed an 'Oedipal fixation with Brando'.[20] Schneider said Brando sent her flowers after they first met, and 'from then on he was like a daddy'.[26] In a later interview, Schneider denied this, saying, 'Brando tried to be very paternalistic with me, but it really wasn't any father-daughter relationship.'[20] However, in 2007 she said that 'for me, he was more like a father figure and I a daughter.'[9]
Response in United States[edit]
—Pauline Kael[33]
The film premiered in New York City on 14 October 1972, to enormous public controversy, as it had received coverage after opening in France. The media frenzy surrounding the film generated intense popular interest as well as moral condemnation, and the film was featured in cover stories in both Time and Newsweek[20] magazines. Playboy published a photo spread of Brando and Schneider 'cavorting in the nude'.[20]Time wrote,
Any moviegoers who are not shocked, titillated, disgusted, fascinated, delighted or angered by this early scene in Bernardo Bertolucci's new movie, Last Tango in Paris, should be patient. There is more to come. Much more.[26]
The Village Voice reported walkouts by board members and 'vomiting by well-dressed wives'.[34] Columnist William F. Buckley and ABC's Harry Reasoner denounced the film as 'pornography disguised as art'.[20]
After local government officials failed to ban the film in Montclair, New Jersey, theatergoers had to push through a mob of 200 outraged residents, who hurled epithets like 'perverts' and 'homos' at the attendees. Later, a bomb threat temporarily halted the showing.[35] The New York City chapter of the National Organization for Women denounced the film as a tool of 'male domination'.[36]
The film's scandal centred mostly on an anal rape scene, featuring Paul's use of butter as a lubricant.[37][38] According to Schneider, the scene was not in the original script, but was Brando's idea.[8] Other critics focused on when the character Paul asks Jeanne to insert her fingers in his anus, then asks her to prove her devotion to him by, among other things, having sex with a pig. Vincent Canby of The New York Times described the film's sexual content as the artistic expression of the 'era of Norman Mailer and Germaine Greer'.[39]
Film critic Pauline Kael endorsed the film, writing that 'Tango has altered the face of an art form. This is a movie people will be arguing about for as long as there are movies.'[26] She called it 'the most powerfully erotic movie ever made, and it may turn out to be the most liberating movie ever made.'[40]United Artists reprinted the whole of Kael's rave as a double-page advertisement in the Sunday New York Times. Kael's review of Last Tango in Paris is regarded as the most influential piece of her career.[41] The American critic Roger Ebert repeatedly described it as 'the most famous movie review ever published', and he added the film to his 'Great Movies' collection.[42]
American director Robert Altman expressed unqualified praise: 'I walked out of the screening and said to myself, 'How dare I make another film?' My personal and artistic life will never be the same.'[20] Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes retrospectively collected 36 reviews and gave the film an approval rating of 83%, with an average rating of 7.9/10. The website's critical consensus reads, 'Naturalistic but evocative, Last Tango in Paris is a vivid exploration of pain, love, and sex featuring a typically towering Marlon Brando performance.'[43]

The film earned $12,625,000 in North American rentals in 1973.[44]
International response[edit]
British censors reduced the duration of the sodomy sequence before permitting the film to be released in the United Kingdom,[45] though it is not cut in later releases. Mary Whitehouse, a Christian morality campaigner, expressed outrage that the film had been certified 'X' rather than banned outright, and Labour MP Maurice Edelman denounced the classification as 'a license to degrade'.[46]Chile banned the film entirely for nearly thirty years under its military government,[47] and the film was similarly suppressed in Portugal (until the Carnation Revolution in 1974, when its première became an example of the freedom democracy allows),[48]South Korea,[49]Argentina,[50] and Singapore.[48][51]
The same happened in Brazil that lived in its most brutal period of military dictatorship: the film was censored. Eventually it was released in 1979.
In Australia, the film was released uncut with an R certificate by the Australian Classification Board on 1 February 1973. It received a VHS release by Warner Home Video with the same classification on 1 January 1987, forbidding sale or hire to anyone under the age of 18.[52]
In Italy, the film was released on 15 December 1972, grossing an unprecedented $100,000 in six days.[53] One week later, however, police seized all copies on the order of a prosecutor, who defined the film as 'self-serving pornography', and its director was put on trial for 'obscenity'. Following first degree and appeal trials, the fate of the film was sealed on 26 January 1976 by the Italian Supreme Court, which sentenced all copies to be destroyed (though some were preserved by the National Film Library). Bertolucci was served with a four-month suspended sentence in prison and had his civil rights revoked for five years, depriving him of voting rights.[54]
In Canada, the film was banned by the Nova Scotia Board of Censors, leading to the landmark 1978 Supreme Court of Canada split decision in Nova Scotia (Board of Censors) v McNeil, which upheld the provinces' right to censor films.[55]

Brando received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role and Bertolucci was nominated for Best Director.[56]

Nearly a decade ago, Maria Schneider revealed the unsettling details surrounding an infamous rape scene in the 1972 drama Last Tango in Paris, in which Marlon Brando’s character uses butter as a lubricant before forcing himself on her.
But over the weekend, a clip of director Bernardo Bertolucci talking about the scene resurfaced, setting off wide media attention and sparking outrage in Hollywood.
In the clip from a 2013 press tour, Bertolucci describes how he and Brando had come up with the idea to use the butter in the scripted rape scene, but did not tell Schneider “what was going on, because I wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress. I wanted her to react humiliated.”
We’ll tell you what’s true. You can form your own view.

Similar remarks had been previously reported, but didn’t generate this level of outcry until now. Last week, Spanish nonprofit El Mundo de Alycia published the interview clip with Bertolucci, adding Spanish subtitles and posting the video on its website in recognition of International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November (a fuller version was uploaded to YouTube in 2013).

Schneider, who died in 2011 after a long battle with cancer, told the Daily Mail in 2007 that the scene “wasn’t in the original script”; Brando had come up with the idea and she was only told right before they had to film that part. “I was so angry,” she said.
“Marlon said to me: ‘Maria, don’t worry, it’s just a movie,’ but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn’t real, I was crying real tears,” she said. “I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or apologise. Thankfully, there was just one take.”
She added: “I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can’t force someone to do something that isn’t in the script, but at the time, I didn’t know that.”
After El Mundo de Alycia posted the clip on YouTube, Spanish-language outlets picked up the story. English-language sites soon followed suit, starting with Elle’s “Bertolucci Admits He Conspired to Shoot a Non-Consensual Rape Scene in Last Tango in Paris.” The renewed attention drew outrage on social media from Hollywood actors and directors.

“Inexcusable. As a director, I can barely fathom this,” tweeted Ava DuVernay. “As a woman, I am horrified, disgusted and enraged by it.”
“Wow. I will never look at this film, Bertolucci or Brando the same way again,” Chris Evans tweeted. “This is beyond disgusting. I feel rage.”
Anna Kendrick responded to Evans’s shock by pointing out that Schneider talked about this years ago. “I used to get eye-rolls when I brought it up to people (aka dudes),” she tweeted, adding she’s not surprised that the actress’s comments weren’t widely known.
Bertolucci says that Schneider hated him for years, especially given how “the sequence of the butter” – the most well-known scene in the critically acclaimed movie – came to be:
“It was in the script that he had to rape her in a way. And we were having with Marlon breakfast on the floor of the flat where we were shooting. And there was a baguette and there was butter, and we looked at each other and without saying anything, we knew what we wanted.
“But, I’ve been, in a way, horrible to Maria because I didn’t tell her what was going on, because I wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress. I wanted her to react humiliated, if it goes on, she shouts, ‘No, no!’ And I think that she hated me, and also Marlon, because we didn’t tell her, and there was that detail of the butter used as a lubricant, and I still feel very guilty for that.”
El Mundo de Alycia said in a statement accompanying the video that Bertolucci’s comments “had practically no repercussions” on social media or elsewhere despite being publicly available for years. The organisation’s statement continues, asking “how is it possible a case as serious as this” hasn’t been broadcast widely, impacted public opinion and been roundly denounced.
From gender pay disparities to cases involving sexual harassment and assault, the treatment of women in Hollywood — either on set or by famous men — has received increased attention in recent years, and led to tangible repercussions. The most widely known case involves Bill Cosby, who faces felony charges for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004. Cosby adamantly denies the allegations from the woman and dozens of other accusers.
While allegations of sexual assault weren’t a secret, it wasn’t until 2014 that the news cycle became dominated by them, and more women came forward publicly. It all began after video of comedian Hannibal Buress telling a joke about Cosby being accused of rape went viral.
The joke itself underscores how such stories, despite being in the public domain, get so little attention. After describing Cosby’s “Teflon” image, Buress says that he’s “done this bit on stage and people think I’m making it up… When you leave here, google ‘Bill Cosby rape.’ That s—has more results than ‘Hannibal Buress.'”
Cosby, who had been on the verge of a career comeback, has since receded from the limelight, his public image forever altered, and is currently awaiting trial.
In its day, Last Tango in Paris was controversial for its graphic depiction of sex, and was rated X in the United States. But critics and Hollywood at-large praised the movie, depicting it as an erotic drama and giving it considerable buzz. Brando and Bertolucci were nominated for Oscars. Schneider was snubbed.
Brando has also said he had a particularly humiliating time filming the movie, albeit for totally different reasons. In his 1994 autobiography, Brando wrote it was particularly cold during the filming of a full-frontal nude scene, and his “body went into full retreat,” referring to the size of his penis.
“I was humiliated, but not ready to surrender yet,” he wrote. After an hour, the crew gave up and the scene was cut. Brando described it as “one of the more embarrassing experiences of my professional career.”
The director also wanted Brando and Schneider to actually have sex, the actor wrote; both have said they simulated the scenes.
Decades later, Schneider wasn’t quiet about her treatment during the film’s production. She publicly said she felt used by the director, telling Premiere magazine in 2000, “You have to understand what kind of world Bertolucci is in. He was in love with Marlon. The part I play was written for a boy! That’s why the butter, the sodomization, the gag…”

The actress also said she had a friendship with Brando, and that their interaction was the best part of making the movie.
Schneider said she struggled with the unexpected fame and intense public interest in her after the movie, using drugs as an escape and attempting suicide.
In her Daily Mail interview, she said Bertolucci was “very manipulative, both of Marlon and myself, and would do certain things to get a reaction from me. Some mornings on set he would be very nice and say hello and on other days, he wouldn’t say anything at all.”
“I was too young to know better,” she added. “Marlon later said that he felt manipulated, and he was Marlon Brando, so you can imagine how I felt.”
