Product: Last Tango in Paris (1973)
Rating: 3.0
little plot, unerotic, but nice photography
This movie is overrated. The plot is quite weak. I did not find it erotic at all.There is a fair amount of sex, but the characters of Paul (Marlon Brando) and Jeanne (Maria Schneider) are insufficiently developed. We learn that Paul's wife recently killed herself, but other than that the affair between them appears to be driven by boredom, escapism, and chance. What are the characters feeling, other than animal attraction?? Brando's acting is excellent, but with such a weak plot, it seems a waste. The cinematography is very nice - lots of darkness.
