The monstrous truth about "The Last Tango in Paris" from the mouth of Bernardo Bertolucci

The 76-year-old classic of Italian cinema told the unpleasant truth about what was happening on the set of his film "The Last Tango in Paris", which was released in the distant 1972. This film, according to the director, in many ways became the embodiment of his hidden sexual fantasies and desires.

Despite the fact that the author of the script was Robert Elli, Bertolucci himself, and Marlon Brando, who played the main role, constantly improvised on the set. And this, as it turned out, led to a terrible tragedy!

Recognition of the elderly director sounded like a bolt from the blue:

"19-year-old Maria Schneider did not even realize that Brando should play in the frame of rape. It's about the same scene with butter. I agreed with Brando, because I wanted this moment to look as plausible as possible. "

Fatal movie

As you know, the key scene in the drama about the love of an aged widower and a young Frenchwoman, critics consider the one where Brando rapes his partner in a non-natural way. As lubricant in anal sex, an American uses ... butter.

The director decided not to let the actress know what was waiting for her, and Brando entered into the taste and "popolzovat" the girl for real! Here is what the director said:

"It was a collusion between me and Brando. And the idea of ​​the scene arose spontaneously. We sat at the table and had breakfast, we were served a classic baguette and butter. We looked at the table, exchanged glances, each of us thought about the same thing. And Mary did not need to know about it. "

The most famous actor Marlon Brando and his partner in the film Maria Schneider will not be able to comment on this statement, since the performer of the role of Paul died in 2004, and the actress who played Jeanne in 2011.
