Product: Last Tango in Paris (1973)
Rating: 2.0
Overrated
Marlon Brando is a marvelous actor, but PLEASE someone ELSE write his dialogue! On how many different occasions in one film do we need to hear about pigs? I have never understood why this movie is lauded so much, so I decided to give it another chance. The dialogue is simply absurd. Who talks like this? The relationship between Brando and the young French girl is very S&M;, but in my opinion, these themes were explored better and more attractively in "9 1/2 Weeks". If you're looking for nudity and graphic sex, you won't find that here either. The sex scenes are few and far between, and when they do occur your reaction will most likely be "OH! MY EYES!!"A film without a writer is a recipe for disaster, and it really shows here. Skip this. You're not missing a thing.
