I have always wanted to see this film, I was thirteen, in 1972 when it was released. i think this scene where the guys trousers fall down and he shows his pants is hilarious. Brilliant! I waited 39 years to see that scene! It was worth it?
This movie was a mess. Some people think that it is a masterpiece because it didn't follow a specific formula, and Brando was left to improvise. In my opinion it didn't work. This seen especially looks clumsy and the improvisation was not clever or meaningful.
@TonyfromConey Agreed. The Pattinson comment is beyond absurd.
Marlon Brando has no modern peer. The only actor who had the potential for that kind of greatness is the late, great Heath Ledger. Funny that Ledger (in his Joker make up) even resembled a young Brando.
@KellyGreen5555 naw, thats saying too much. Heath Ledger was awesome, but I doubt he could have become the next Brando. The next De Niro perhaps, but Brando is in a world of his own.
@KellyGreen5555 Obviously Brando was in a world of his own. Beneath that, you have great actors like De Niro, Pacino, Nicholson, and all the other greats of that generation.
In all honesty, Heath Ledger was a brilliant actor, but I do think he gets far too much credit for his passing. His best performance imo was the Joker and nailed it well, second to that is him in Lords Of The Dogtown probably.
@noorur Check out Brokeback Mountain, Casanova, Candy...Even before Heath's death, the industry was buzzing about his genius Joker turn...he also got the coveted Brando comparison for his Ennis Del Mar performance (Brokeback)
I think that Heath's death is a huge loss for the arts...He was one of a kind...IMO, not enough can be said about it.
@KellyGreen5555 yeah, I've seen all those films you mentioned. Heath Ledger would have won that Oscar for BrokeBack Mountain, he nailed that role so perfectly, it was hard to tell that, that was the same actor who played Ned Kelly. In other words, that is what acting is all about. However, Phillip Seymour Hoffman very marginally out did him in the Capote and you can't take that away from him either.
@noorur See, I think Philip Seymour Hoffman is terribly overrated...and my least favorite working actor.
In Capote, it was like Seymour was hitting the same note for two fucking hours...I could also see the strings in that performance, which is a cardinal sin in acting. This guy actually keeps me out of the theatre!
Another film to note: 2001's Monster's Ball...Ledger was 20 yrs old and turned down the Spiderman franchise (worth millions) so that he could play more daring roles.
Listen here. None of you are true cinemaphiles and real fans of cinema and films. Brando is one overrated bloke in the history of films ever. Women loved him because they were horny as fuck and men like him because he was supposed to be some kind of method acting god! Bull! Real and true method actors - John Garfield & Paul Muni. Both - underrated!
@ConfusedSponge This video or Brandon himself are cursed or maybe even evil. I was having troubles posting my first comment. It took me 4 tries and 20 minutes.
@mrsmanie1 oh jah!! i love benicio...i never have in my life thought of anyone actually remaking this, i never think of anyone re-making, playing brando, really in anything....but i love benicio. he's another original i think.
@TonyfromConey Well,he or she (probably she) didn't Robert Pattinson in the same breathe as Marlon Brando, she just said that they should do a remake.Well, my opinion"WTF?!".Anyhow,I am not in with remakes.So she is a Twihard.Okay,not going to mention what I think about Tw (not decent)...Everyone chooses what they like..Now you can make a good choice or a bad choice..(Nothing against Pattz) With love,
Someone should upload Charlie Chaplin's masterpiece: The Tango scene from "Countess from Hong Kong," with Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren! Now, THAT was brando at his finest, AND a romantic Tango scene!
There's something transcendant about his performance.To me it resonates like one of Shakespeare's tragedies. There's a strange madness about this movie and the charcter of Paul. I believe Brando said he said he felt raped by the experience of making this film and that he would never expose himself in this way again. I feel sorry for Maria Schneider and the aftermath of this experience. It seems that it marked her for life. Much has been said already about Brando. Definitive! And devastating!
Mickey Rouke is the only American actor of reknown who I think could even attempt to bring all the internalized drama on screen that Brando brought to this role. Bennicio Del Toro? Possibly. But Marlon's characterization of Paul is truely a one off. This is arguably the peak of 'method' acting with all the nuance of experience.
I believe it was the ballroom under the café La Coupole on Boulevard Montparnasse. I don't remember the name. La Coupole maybe? I don't know if it still exists.

If you ask any of our most notable "actor's actors"...Johnny Depp, Kevin Spacey, Gary Oldman, Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones etc...they would tell you that Marlon Brando is an "actor's actor's actor." He changed the artform and influenced every actor to come after him -- the Hemingway of the silver screen if you will.
He may have been a womanizer, but he was also an activist and proponent of Native American rights and Civil Rights way ahead of his time. We're all mixed bags, n'est-ce pas?
@toothforaneye It's great you say that and all it really is but that doesn't negate the fact that Michael Caine is the greatest actor to ever be seen in film.
a caso te gusta brando como hombre, disfruta su actuación y deja su vida privada, déjalo descansar en paz, quiere que resucite y te de con su verga asesina.
Furthermore, the best thing we can all do is learn to separate the man from the actor. And what’s the point of still being angry about it? He’s dead and his daughter’s dead. As such, he can no longer hurt anyone ever again… EVER.
@RichardElden There is no evidence to suggest he raped, or physically penetrated, his own daughter. However, he did admit to being inappropriate with her, which is still sexual abuse. I have to admit that ever since I found out that Brando, my favorite actor, did all of these horrible things (and clearly was a sex addict) I have had a hard time looking at him the same way. But I can never deny that he was immensely talented as an actor no matter how terrible a person he was in real life.

Can anybody please tell me when Maria says "Lets drink a toast to our life in the ?" What is it she says-Ive always thought it sounded like she said "alter" but have never figured it out even after seeing the film many times.
Brando did this film after Godfather. He really wasnt in demand during the 70's and so he had to look for work. One has to ask oneself why did he do this film-"FOR THE MONEY!
Brando, when asked to name his best performance answered “Last Tango”. Yet, in another interview, he maintained he had no idea what the film was about.
He was not truthful; he knew what it was about. The film was, in part, about Brando himself and his inability to connect in a meaningful and long-last way to a woman, to love completely. It also showed the tragedy and heartbreak that he felt awaited him should he become vulnerable.
@GK5353 Interesting analysis of the film. It is reasonable, given what we do know of Brando, to infer that the film is semi-autobiographical. But Brando was an enigma, and even what we think know of him is questionable and open to debate.
It is a sick movie, Brando had become a sleaze, and Maria was never the same due to feeling so degraded after this movie. She was only 19! She regretted it!!!
@HanorahDuggan It is true that Maria never agreed on doing the controversial scene with the butter (which is simulation, not real), and that Brando wasn't very supportive in the situation after. However I personally think that the difficulties Maria had living with the movie, is not due to the scenes in the movie, but the controversy coming from a sexually disturbed machist society drooling over stupid things like this, rather than honoring her fabulous gifted performances as an actress.
@alienpicnic and she was superb in the film-was a difficult role,one one hand you see her with her fiancee in what seems a vanilla engagement and on the other with Paul-in a very grown up ,dangerous relationship.You sense she is over her head by the end I always wondered what happend to Jeanne after
@deckard97 all those scenes wi her fiance, their movie, etc, bore me to death. could have been left out altogether as far as i[m concerned. nothing there may me wonder a single thing about her. it was all marlon, that movie, all marlon.
@flybreath also the film actually the film did teach me something. not to get attracted to people so easily. literally all my friends at rushed into relationships, emotional and sexual and all of them have ended in disaster.
as for the fetish thing. i do believe brando was sexy, though very cruel in the film, but i do stick to guys my age. haha.
@flybreath i get what your saying, but now im actually an 18 year old college student and a film student at that. watching this movie uncut and also censored really helped me in my film classes. i watched it and nothing happened to me. so im good :)
Uma das paixões de minha geração se foi. A atriz MARIA SCHNEIDER, aos 58 anos (27 de março 1952/ 3 de fevereiro de 2011). Atuou em pelo menos dois filmes geniais, O ÚLTIMO TANGO EM PARIS (de 1972, quando tinha 18 anos, contracenando com Marlon Brando) de Bernardo Bertolucci e PROFISSÃO REPÓRTER (de 1975, contracenando com Jack Nicholson) de Michelangelo Antonioni. Maria Schneider! Saravá!
Aside from the artistic value this film took a toll on the actress. She was too young. Admitted now by the director. What humans will do for success and what they do to each other for success is the other story of this film.
A atriz Maria Schneider, protagonista com Marlon Brando do filme "Último Tango em Paris", que provocou escândalo na década de 70, morreu nesta quinta-feira(03/02/11) em Paris, aos 58 anos, em consequência de uma longa doença, informou a família.
Last tango in Paris is the ultimate statement on the human condition. This is probably the best scene but the scene where "Paul" speaks to his deceased wife is a masterpiece also. The entire film is the ultimate expression of ambivalence which is the unique human dilemma that we all face. The anal intercourse scene pigeonholed the rest of the film for the masses and most one dimensional beings became brainwashed sheep deprived of the the ability to experience a truly important piece of art.
@goodoldrebel8 all those years ago, the 1st fim i rented when i got me a VCR, to watch that scene over & over, wwhen he's talking to his dead wife....one of the best i've ever ever seen. what an actor. what a master.
i watched this in the theatre shortly after beeing raped as a virgin, the butter scene very painful, but the monlogue is the primo part of the movie for me...the whole relationship with marlon & his wifes' lover...his death over trying to say, this is my name. ...yes. perfekt.
Sorry to hear about your traumatic experience. Besides reading Stanislovsky "An Actor Prepares" and "Building a Character" all acting students should be required to study Last Tango in Paris. Unlike today's films which are just artificial entertainment and mindless nonsense (humanoid comic strips) LTIP attempts to capture the very essence of true human emotion without all the distractive clutter. It's truly beyond just a film.
Last tango in Paris is still the greatest film of all time with the Naked Prey (Cornel Wilde) a close second.. It still has the same impact on me as it did when I was a teenager way back in 1972. It's a shame that Brando seemed to lose the best part of himself towards the end of his life putting on all that weight and the tragic events of his daughter and son.It's still the most significant characterization on the silver screen as close to reality as celluloid can be.
@isarose1 She was completely done with him. There was no interest at all at the end. It happened abruptly. I think it's primarily because he started actually granting her power and wanting her, rather than the reverse where he was a mystery and hard to get. This is an amazing truth about relationships.
@GreatUnwashedMass "I think it's primarily because he started actually granting her power and wanting her, rather than the reverse where he was a mystery and hard to get. This is an amazing truth about relationships."
Interesting. I've often thought about the role that mystery plays in relationships and its power.
@robblucien absolutely absolutely he was so fantastic in this, it was hard to believe. truly. that monologue one of his truly finest moments. brilliant.
What would I give to act in a film with Brando... I don't care if I had to do nudity or being rubbed with butter, who cares? It's Marlon Freaking Brando!
@canuckmovielord. Good points. Please consider Nick Stahl for last white hope of the method. To be Brando is to live character in the NY school: Strasberg meisner and Hagen. Get a copy Actor Prepares and memorize it. Continue to worship at the shrine of this beloved roman god of...film? Theater.
you may love on the waterfront, you may think he is superb in streetcar named desire, and you may think he is marvelous as don vito corleone. but none of that, does he give a finer performance then in last tango in paris, this is just brando at his purest,honest,convincing,and finest.
If I'm to become an actor, I would say one of my biggest influences is Brando. This scene has further made me fall in love with Brando even more. In fact, if I were him in this scene, that's how I would play it strangely enough. The real shame is that nobody is as fearless as Brando anymore, I would say rare instances like Heath Ledger would've been if he would've lived on for the next few decades but I don't know why actors aren't as fearless as him. They should be. :(
What it must have been like to see this at the NY Film Festival on Oct 14th 1972-Just WOW..This film had pre release Buzz for months(Before its official Feb 1973 release)
Brokeback Mountain has alot of references to this film(watch both back to back)
@deckard97 Yes, and it was uncut. Pauline Kael criticized Bertolucci for cutting some scenes like the one where Brando pretends to be a dog to scare away a bible salesman who's out in the hall.
Hey how do you know that??He was drunk in real time?? He kind of seemed like that in thats sene.I find him very attractive actually one of the best actors around great movie did you like it??
@jenannvick He usually drank before a drunk scene believing that on film your eyes are never going to look drunk no matter how well you 'act' drunk. You can see this elsewhere on this site in a scene from The Young Lions.
I love this film....I've seen it like over 10 times. im a 17 year old girl and i saw the film the first time when i was 15 and u kno where i heard about it from.........not twilight...."well robert and kristin watch it" and "i wanna marry edward cullen" he does not exist. i heard of this film from the Independent film channel on a special about sex in films. i'm glad i watch that special and found this movies. its in my top 5 fav films of all time
I'm 17 too, saw it the first time when I was 15 and I love it! I hate twilight! :D I heard about this movie when I discovered marlon and wanted to learn more about his work. (What is this kirstin and rob watched it-thing, I've never heard of it??) And since I love Paris, I kinda got attatched to this movie. A few things I find quite repulsive, but I just love the mood, the music, the dialogue... It's genius... I always search for marlons ghost when I visist the Bir Hakeim bridge in Paris... :P
wow you can see every single time he's glances at a cue card

@GK5353 Interesting analysis of the film. It is reasonable, given what we do know of Brando, to infer that the film is semi-autobiographical. But Brando was an enigma, and even what we think know of him is questionable and open to debate.

Brando did this movie after Godfather. Lets face it Schenider was no kind of actress

It is a sick movie, Brando had become a sleaze, and Maria was never the same due to feeling so degraded after this movie. She was only 19! She regretted it!!!
HanorahDuggan 11 months ago
@HanorahDuggan It is true that Maria never agreed on doing the controversial scene with the butter (which is simulation, not real), and that Brando wasn't very supportive in the situation after. However I personally think that the difficulties Maria had living with the movie, is not due to the scenes in the movie, but the controversy coming from a sexually disturbed machist society drooling over stupid things like this, rather than honoring her fabulous gifted performances as an actress.

@alienpicnic and she was superb in the film-was a difficult role,one one hand you see her with her fiancee in what seems a vanilla engagement and on the other with Paul-in a very grown up ,dangerous relationship.You sense she is over her head by the end I always wondered what happend to Jeanne after

@deckard97 all those scenes wi her fiance, their movie, etc, bore me to death. could have been left out altogether as far as i[m concerned. nothing there may me wonder a single thing about her. it was all marlon, that movie, all marlon.

@flybreath also the film actually the film did teach me something. not to get attracted to people so easily. literally all my friends at rushed into relationships, emotional and sexual and all of them have ended in disaster.
as for the fetish thing. i do believe brando was sexy, though very cruel in the film, but i do stick to guys my age. haha.

Uma das paixões de minha geração se foi. A atriz MARIA SCHNEIDER, aos 58 anos (27 de março 1952/ 3 de fevereiro de 2011). Atuou em pelo menos dois filmes geniais, O ÚLTIMO TANGO EM PARIS (de 1972, quando tinha 18 anos, contracenando com Marlon Brando) de Bernardo Bertolucci e PROFISSÃO REPÓRTER (de 1975, contracenando com Jack Nicholson) de Michelangelo Antonioni. Maria Schneider! Saravá!

Aside from the artistic value this film took a toll on the actress. She was too young. Admitted now by the director. What humans will do for success and what they do to each other for success is the other story of this film.

Last tango in Paris is the ultimate statement on the human condition. This is probably the best scene but the scene where "Paul" speaks to his deceased wife is a masterpiece also. The entire film is the ultimate expression of ambivalence which is the unique human dilemma that we all face. The anal intercourse scene pigeonholed the rest of the film for the masses and most one dimensional beings became brainwashed sheep deprived of the the ability to experience a truly important piece of art.

@goodoldrebel8 all those years ago, the 1st fim i rented when i got me a VCR, to watch that scene over & over, wwhen he's talking to his dead wife....one of the best i've ever ever seen. what an actor. what a master.
i watched this in the theatre shortly after beeing raped as a virgin, the butter scene very painful, but the monlogue is the primo part of the movie for me...the whole relationship with marlon & his wifes' lover...his death over trying to say, this is my name. ...yes. perfekt.

@magdaszabo
Sorry to hear about your traumatic experience. Besides reading Stanislovsky "An Actor Prepares" and "Building a Character" all acting students should be required to study Last Tango in Paris. Unlike today's films which are just artificial entertainment and mindless nonsense (humanoid comic strips) LTIP attempts to capture the very essence of true human emotion without all the distractive clutter. It's truly beyond just a film.
goodoldrebel8 1 year ago
Last tango in Paris is still the greatest film of all time with the Naked Prey (Cornel Wilde) a close second.. It still has the same impact on me as it did when I was a teenager way back in 1972. It's a shame that Brando seemed to lose the best part of himself towards the end of his life putting on all that weight and the tragic events of his daughter and son.It's still the most significant characterization on the silver screen as close to reality as celluloid can be.

all right someone help me out why did she kill him at the end?
isarose1 1 year ago
@isarose1 She was completely done with him. There was no interest at all at the end. It happened abruptly. I think it's primarily because he started actually granting her power and wanting her, rather than the reverse where he was a mystery and hard to get. This is an amazing truth about relationships.

@canuckmovielord. Good points. Please consider Nick Stahl for last white hope of the method. To be Brando is to live character in the NY school: Strasberg meisner and Hagen. Get a copy Actor Prepares and memorize it. Continue to worship at the shrine of this beloved roman god of...film? Theater.

If I'm to become an actor, I would say one of my biggest influences is Brando. This scene has further made me fall in love with Brando even more. In fact, if I were him in this scene, that's how I would play it strangely enough. The real shame is that nobody is as fearless as Brando anymore, I would say rare instances like Heath Ledger would've been if he would've lived on for the next few decades but I don't know why actors aren't as fearless as him. They should be. :(

(What is this kirstin and rob watched it-thing, I've never heard of it??) And since I love Paris, I kinda got attatched to this movie. A few things I find quite repulsive, but I just love the mood, the music, the dialogue... It's genius... I always search for marlons ghost when I visist the Bir Hakeim bridge in Paris... :P
