So young...

I know you like the Tango, and perhaps she is the "better half" in there, but I would take her in Profession: Reporter any day over that dreck.

Brando in Tango IS modern middle-aged urban man. - tinear 16:15:28 02/03/11 (8)
And his equal, I think of him as the guy that turned into Brando had he made it that far, is Nicholson's character in Passenger.
The common thread, so ironically, in both films is Maria. You can see in her face the troubled life she led. She is such different but unforgettable characters in both films.
I can't think of an actress, off hand, that starred in two such seminal films so close together by two such auteur titans.

  The article I think covers well the damnation of the Tango that she experienced, in the hands of a weak-minded impotent sex maniac. Was she also responsible? Does it matter now?

    And the glorious mess that was 1900.

      Face it - the man was sick, there is name for that disorder. The Conformist was perhaps his only work deserving long life.

        masterworks. One of the best films to address--- yet again--- the condition of modern man (and woman) adrift in the modern world.

        OK, Victor, I'll bite:
        What is the disorder that Bertolucci suffers?
        
        I thought "The Dreamers" was superb; a logical continuation of "Last Tango...". And Eva Green...cowabunga!!!
        
        Seriously, now that the great master directors of the 50's and 60's are gone; the two greatest surviving are Godard and Bertolucci.
