Last Tango in Paris ★★★½ L'Ultimo Tango a Parigi; Le Dernier Tango a Paris 1973 (R) Brando plays a middle-aged American who meets a French girl and tries to forget his wife's suicide with a short, extremely steamy affair. Bertolucci proves to be a master; Brando gives one of his best performances. Very controversial when made, still quite explicit. Visually stunning.
