One scene that caused a stir is the scene where Jeanne puts her hand in Paul's backside. It was banned in the director's native soil. This had nothing to do with the sex scenes itself but the content that propelled these scenes. On the day of its release, Last Tango in Paris Stirred up an enormous uproar. Finally, Paul is middle aged and somewhat in shape and Vitto is old and nearing death. Third, Vitto concerns himself with the family structure and Paul is an individual.
Second, Paul is sexually active while Vitto is sexually inactive. First, Vitto is calm and cool while Paul is emotionally unstable.
There is a contrast between Paul(Last Tango In Paris), and Vitto(The Godfather). The erotic sequences are done by the director with finesse and style. Bertolucci spends more time creating a three dimensional chracter in Paul then he did on Jeanne. There are Pasolinian moments that are evident in many parts of the movie. It seems that being an Assistent Director for Pier Paolo Pasolini had paid off in the making of Ultimo Tango a Parigi/Last Tango in Paris(1972). The direction by Bernardo Bertolucci is fantastic. Marlon does a convincing job during the erotic scenes. This sequence reveals some about the character of paul. The scene where Paul lets out his anger and frustration out on his dead wife is a prime example of why Marlon Brando is a great actor. Some of the scenes with Maria Schneider are some of the most difficult things done by the actor. The actor shows plenty of emotion and human depth in his role. It was the last great performance of Marlon Brando as he hasn't done anything good(except Apocalypse Now) as this. 1972 saw Marlon Brando in a banner year with his performances in The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris. Paul like the lead male characters in A Streetcar Named Desire(1951) and On the Waterfront(1954) is someone who behaves in an animalistic fashion. Brando for the first time in his career exhibits a physical performance that matches the emotional intensity of his earlier films. The acting of Marlon Brando is one of the major reasons to watch this feature film.
