00:00Last Tango in Paris, born from a fantasy by director Bernardo Bertolucci,

00:04who one evening dreams of meeting a young woman in Paris and making love without even knowing her name.

00:09So this is how the film begins and the relationship between these two characters,

00:13which will gradually transform into something less and less organic as the story progresses,

00:17and increasingly frustrating, exhausting, gloomy.

00:21Brando accepted this role at a time when he was not really in a position to negotiate.

00:24He just shot The Godfather but the film hasn't been released yet.

00:27He will invest himself emotionally in the film like he never has before,

00:31improvising his dialogues to the point of confessing episodes from his own life.

00:57He is in total osmos with his character, perhaps even a little too much for his taste,

01:04and when the film comes out, he disowns it.

01:06On the one hand because he did not like to expose himself at all, in every sense of the word,

01:10but also because the film, sexually explicit, is controversial.

01:14It is banned in several countries, and one story in particular will shake its reputation,

01:18the fate reserved for Maria Schneider during filming.

01:21In the film, there is a scene where Brando's character

01:25rapes Maria's with his fingers and butter.

01:28This scene was imagined by the actor and the director the very morning of filming,

01:32and Maria Schneider will not be informed of all aspects of the scene

01:36in order to maintain the authenticity of his reaction.

01:38This is the excuse Bertolucci gives in the media.

01:40The tears we see on screen are real.

01:55There is no penetration, but Marlon Brando slides his hand in well

01:58and touches an intimate area without the actress's consent.

02:01During the scene, no technician moves, no one does anything,

02:05and Maria runs to take refuge in her dressing room, in tears,

02:08joined by Brando who tries to console her.

02:11After that, Maria Schneider hardly ever filmed again,

02:14will take refuge in alcohol and drugs,

02:16and died on February 3, 2011, at the age of 58.

02:23This episode continues to tarnish Marlon Brando's reputation to this day,

02:27who has always considered women as objects,

02:30possessions that he could dispose of as he wished.

02:32Although he gave the world of cinema its finest hours,

02:35having fought for the most just causes,

02:38he nevertheless remains a human being with sometimes questionable behavior,

02:40even unforgivable.
