User Review

In 1972, a film that was born to become a legend of world cinema appeared in European cinemas. A movie that made its creators persona non grata in Italy and France. A movie based on Bertolucci's fantasy of a meeting without commitment and without a future. A movie whose title combines passion and oblivion, intimacy and loneliness. “Last Tango in Paris” - a movie that has become a classic, whose beautiful musical theme is remembered forever, and the literary basis, based on the novel Ellie, became a bestseller.

“Last Tango in Paris” is perhaps the first film that openly explores the nature of sexuality and attraction, the painful dependence of people on each other and self-destruction, delivering the ultimate pleasure.

“Prisoners” in a rented apartment on Jules Verne Street, Bertolucci's characters methodically ‘dissect’ their feelings and memories. Paul, with the tired irritation of an aging idealist, and Jeanne, with the childlike joy of a discoverer. But, Paul doesn't recognize names, doesn't, just as he didn't recognize his father's authority in his youth. Brando played not one of the many born after the war, he played a whole generation of shabby brutal romantics, a knight in a knitted sweater with a Hemingwayevskogo past, in which he meant something and could change something.

But, the world has changed, and Paul went out on the street after the news of his wife's suicide and realized that he simply did not notice it. He had overlooked the very possibility of this change, not allowing that he, too, a narcissistic foreigner, with deeply buried childhood resentments, God knows how he found himself in Paris, was also hopelessly “out of date”. “Out of fashion” with his camel-colored cashmere coat, dangerous razor and sentimentality tightly packed in indifference and aggression.

People like him are simply written off sooner or later, whether it's a wife, her “decent” decent mother, or a stranger coming into an apartment with red stained walls. It is possible to resist, to fight, only the “Zhannino” generation, grown up under advertising posters with peacefully smiling young couples, does not recognize the authority, spontaneous, doubting himself and the surrounding reality of the American.

For Jeanne, everything that is happening reminds her of an unpretentious, childish game, where the “jungle” of her garden in her parents' house has gently turned into an apartment, has become the same playground, with adult and fragile toys. She cannot “outgrow” herself, playing two incompatible games in parallel: an exciting romance with Paul, and an almost “love” with her fiancé.

“Last Tango in Paris” can be a melancholy portrait of a time in which passion could either change a lot or become completely helpless, drowning in its own failure, depriving one of the possibility of thinking and living.
