Let's celebrate the insane sexuality of Bernardo Bertolucci. I love the States, but they have a history of frowning upon a few certain subjects: namely nudity and excessive language. But, Italians? Fuhgettaboutit.
Bertolucci really has no qualms about t & a (something to be truly thankful for). In The Last Tango of Paris, Marlon Brando's Paul, who has just lost his wife, begins an affair with a Parisian woman named Jeanne (Maria Schneider). The tryst starts off as simply sexual (the best kind no doubt), where names and details of their lives are forbidden. Feelings inevitably come into the picture (always ruins everything), and then shit starts to hit the fan. But not real shit--that's gross whatever country you live in.
