Paul (Brando), a 45-year old American who lives and owns a hotel abroad in Paris, is mourning the suicide of his wife when he meets Parisian woman Jeanne (Schneider) whilst apartment hunting. Jeanne herself is engaged to a film director, though Paul does not know this initially.

* ArtImitatesArt: An art lover, Bertolucci drew inspiration from the works of the Irish-born British artist Creator/FrancisBacon for the opening sequence of cast and crew credits. According to Creator/AndyWarhol, the film was based on Warhol's own ''Blue Movie'' film released a few years earlier in 1969.
to:
* ArtImitatesArt: An art lover, The film's opening credits include two paintings by Francis Bacon: ''Double Portrait of Lucian Freud'' and ''Frank Auerbach and Study for a Portrait of Isabel Rawsthorne''. The hues used in the film were inspired by the paintings of Bacon. During pre-production, Bertolucci drew frequently visited an exhibit of Bacon's paintings at the Grand Palais in Paris; he said that the light and colour in Bacon's paintings reminded him of Paris in the winter, when "the lights of the stores are on, and there is a very beautiful contrast between the leaden gray of the wintry sky and the warmth of the show windows...the light in the paintings was the major source of inspiration for the style we were looking for".
** Bacon's painting style often depicted human skin like raw meat and the painter's inspiration included meat hanging in a butcher shops window and human skin diseases.
** Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro had previously worked with Bertolucci on ''Film/TheConformist'' and often used an azure hue in the film. Storaro later told a reporter that "after ''The Conformist'' I had a moment of crisis; I was asking myself: what can come after azure?...I did not have the slightest idea that an orange film could be born. We needed another kind of emotion...It was the case of ''Last Tango''.
** Bertolucci and Storaro took inspiration from Bacon's paintings by using "rich oranges, light and cool grays, icy whites, and occasional reds combine[d] with Bertolucci's own tasteful choices of soft browns, blond browns, and delicate whites with bluish and pink shadings".
** Bertolucci took Marlon Brando to theworks of Bacon exhibit and told Brando that he "wanted him to compare himself with Bacon's human figures because I felt that, like them, Marlon's face and body were characterized by a strange and infernal plasticity. I wanted Paul to be like the Irish-born British artist Creator/FrancisBacon for figures that obsessively return in Bacon: faces eaten by something coming from the opening sequence of cast and crew credits. According to Creator/AndyWarhol, the film was based on Warhol's own ''Blue Movie'' film released a few years earlier in 1969.inside".

'''''Ultimo Tango a Parigi''''' ('''''Last Tango in Paris''''') is a 1972 Italian drama film (though with French and English dialogue) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci and starring MarlonBrando and Maria Schneider.
Paul (Brando), a 45-year old American who lives and owns a hotel abroad in Paris, is mourning the suicide of his wife when he meets Parisan woman Jeanne (Schneider) whilst apartment hunting. Jeanne herself is engaged to a film director, though Paul does not know this initially. The two feel lonely and marginalized, so they begin a torrid affair, of which the rules, as set by Paul, are that they do not tell each other any personal details about themselves; not even their names. As time goes by, Paul becomes possessive and starts to act abusively towards Jeanne; in one infamous scene he anally rapes her [[{{Squick}} using butter as lubricant]]. He has fallen in love with her, and wants her for himself. He tries to pressure her into leaving her fiancee and telling him her name, and eventually she is left with no choice but to kill him by gunshot, thus ending the film.
When released, the film's groundbreaking subject matter caused a media frenzy and [[MoralGuardians Moral Guardian]] outrage; despite some glowing critical reception and Academy Award nominations for Brando and Bertolucci. It is regarded nowadays as one of the best European films and best arthouse films ever made. It could be considered the [[TropeMaker progenitor]] of the {{Euroshlock}} genre. It is an obvious influence on the films of CatherineBreillat (who herself has a small appearance in the film), specifically ''[[Film/{{Romance}} Romance]]'' and ''[[AnatomyOfHell Anatomy of Hell]]'', both of which would help to revive the Euroshlock genre in the 2000s.
