The story behind the production of the controversial Bernardo Bertolucci drama Last Tango in Paris, which starred Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider, is to become a TV series, it has been announced.
Released in 1972, Last Tango became notorious for its graphic sex scenes and the treatment of Schneider, its 19-year-old female lead, by Bertolucci and Brando. In 2016, controversy was reignited after a three-year-old video of Bertolucci emerged discussing how he and Brando had not informed Schneider about the content of the film’s infamous rape scene. The airing of the admission led to an explosion of anger, including a tweet from Jessica Chastain saying: “To all the people that love this film – you’re watching a 19yr old get raped by a 48yr old man. The director planned her attack.
