Marlon Brando fans, don’t miss the opportunity to see cinematic stand out, Last Tango in Paris, from director Bernardo Bertolucci, now in its original, explicit, uncut, NC-17 rated version for the first time on Blu-ray.

Notable not only for the unusual and explicit sex scenes, but also a truly magnificent performance from legendary star Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront) as Paul, a middle-aged American who goes to Paris after his wife’s suicide. After a chance meeting with the alluring Jeanne (Maria Schneider, Jane Eyre), he enters into a sadomasochistic, carnal, relationship with her, indirectly attacking the hypocrisy all around him through his raw, outrageous sexual behavior. The special edition Blu-ray also includes the original theatrical trailer for the 1973 film.

Groundbreaking and controversial, the film was nominated for two Academy Awards, and is available now for the first time on Blu-ray.
