MONTREAL — Bernardo Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris shocked movie-goers in 1972 with its frank and unapologetic portrayal of that forbidden lust, violence and angst that accompanies the affair of an American widower and a young, soon-to-be-wed Parisian. So daring was its treatment of the subject matter, that the film earned an X-rating until it was edited to an NC-17 in 1997 and R in 1981.
Sweet Sinema’s third release, Last Tango intends to take the movie that featured the now-iconic Marlon Bando/Maria Schneider butter scene to a new level of explicit.

But as they fall in love with their fantasies of one other, a grim reality becomes increasingly unavoidable.

Rather than poking fun of the originals, we are embracing the concept, while improving the erotic nature.
