Last Tango in Paris: Real rape in film stir controversy; Hollywood criticises | Filmibeat

Graphic rape sequence in the Bernardo Bertolucci-directed multiple-award-winning film, featuring Marlon Brando and the much younger Maria Schneider ( he was nearly 50, and she wasn’t yet 20), is horribly disturbing. Now, the revelation that it was real (the interview in which Bertolucci confessed to this came out in 2013 but only in the last couple of days has it become the subject of the latest outrage on the internet) also tells us just how skewed the power structure is in favour of the powerful older men who dominate the film industry, whether it is Hollywood or Bollywood. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to FilmiBeat Channel for latest updates on movies and related videos.
