Bernardo Bertolucci's erotic drama. A young Parisian woman (Maria Schneider) begins a sordid affair with a middle-aged Marlon Brando, who lays out ground rules that their clandestine relationship will be based only on sex.
This graphic portrayal of sex had faint-of-heart censors fanning themselves feverishly in 1972, and cuts were made for its release. Brando was nominated for the Oscar and BAFTA, while director Bertolucci was nominated for the Oscar and Golden Globe.
