The Last Tango in Paris (1972)

Can someone explain why I saw this movie the week before Brando died? Anyway, I actually prefer director Bertolucci’s similar but superior The Dreamers to this (probably because I’m 24?). Last Tango is bold and probably Brando close to his best; but for all Pauline Kael wished it to be (“may turn out to be the most liberating movie ever made”), it is much less than the sum of its parts.
