Bernardo Bertolucci, Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider: an ideal triad that gave the earth one of the best masterpieces of erotic cinema. Photographed in gold by the genius of Vittorio Storaro (and the most recent restoration ultimately does justice towards the extraordinary images), Final Tango in Paris is a film that has not shed an ounce of its emotional energy. Two strangers plan to fulfill in mystery in an empty apartment, amidst mysteries and lies about their previous, just for the sake of providing meaning to their lifestyle by sex, from by far the most canonical to probably the most animalistic. The conflict in between adore and Demise, among id crisis and desire will inexorably produce an unpredicted ending. A masterpiece.
