Last Tango in Paris
When you see a love story, it's only a movie. When you feel it with every nerve in your body, it's a masterpiece.
Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci
Produced by Les Productions Artistes Associés, PEA
A raw, melancholic exploration of grief and desire between two strangers in Paris, built on physical and emotional intimacy but shadowed by existential emptiness and tragedy.
A recently widowed American begins an anonymous sexual relationship with a young Parisian woman.
