Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is an uneven, convoluted, certainly dispute-provoking study of sexual passion in which Marlon Brando gives a truly remarkable performance.

What are critics saying?
The surface plausibility is probably the contribution of Marlon Brando, whose performance has strength and detail enough to counterbalance Bertolucci's taste for pure psychological essence.
Interesting for it's historical notoriety, but overlong and dull in places.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is one of the great emotional experiences of our time.
The New York Times by Vincent Canby
Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris is a beautiful, courageous, foolish, romantic, and reckless film.
