![]() It is a real shame Maria Schneider died as young as she died, she showed great promise, and here she was sexy and touching and she looked stunning too. The story is a beautifully written and emotional one, the script is of exceptional quality and Bertolucci's direction is of high calibre. Gato Barbieri's jazz score is marvellous and creates a suitably delirious atmosphere. Last Tango is beautifully shot, with artful cinematography, interesting lighting and stunning production values. Instead of erotic, to me it came across as more existential, and I had nothing against that, in fact I wouldn't have minded whether it was erotic or existential or neither. But it is also beautiful and touching not just as a psychodrama but also a study of a broken and tortured man. It is controversial yes in how sex was displayed on screen. My favourite Bertolucci film along with The Last Emperor, Last Tango in Paris is something truly remarkable.
