LAST TANGO IN PARIS
 All Critics (39) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (33) | Rotten (6)
 When Brando improvises within Bertolucci’s structure, his full art is realized; his performance is intuitive, rapt, princely. Working with Brando, Bertolucci achieves realism with the terror of actual experience still alive on the screen.

 Brando gives his all but just ends up becoming himself. Interesting for its historical notoriety, but overlong and dull in places.

 An uneven, convoluted, certainly dispute-provoking study of sexual passion in which Marlon Brando gives a truly remarkable performance.

 The operatic extravagance of Bernardo Bertolucci’s style has emerged more clearly since this 1972 drama, which still managed to seem vaguely naturalistic in the midst of its extravagant camera moves and eccentric construction.

 Bernardo Bertolucci’s controversial drama is actually a dark, torrid masterpiece about love and grief.

 Nobody makes sex films like this any more.

 Some of the improvisational small talk ends up being lightly amusing, but nothing about this picture can overcome the potency of the sex scenes.

 [Brando provides] two sequences of such power, of such piercing emotional intensity and perception, that he brings an aura of greatness to the entire film. It is, alas, only an aura, for the film is all machismo.

 Everything in the movie is presented somewhat vaguely, which grants it a certain interest that we could call fascination, if weren’t about something more evident, fundamental, honest, and spontaneous. [Full Review in Spanish]

 In this age where the human behavior system is rarely an important facet in film narratives, here is a picture that still throbs with all the pain and misery of its deep emotional wounds.

 What makes it work is it is grounded in real life. It’s a story and a character study with a strong philosophical framework and people that are recognisably human. Factor in superb filmmaking, saturated sensual natural light and cinematography.

 Regardless of all its solos, failed majesties, and off-the-mark horrors, even as a highly imperfect adventure, it is still the best adventure in film to be seen in this pullulating year.
