Last Tango In Paris Reveals The Shallow Nature Of All Our Relationships

She wants him, he doesn't want her but is willing to use her for sex and comfort until he admits he likes it then she doesn't want him after chasing him to keep him available to use for cheap sex and intimacy.

Great film. These are the adult relationships we learned. We see them acted out in various versions around us, over and over again. The film is great in showing the dynamics of the human psyche being pretty screwed up because of cultural influences. Brando becomes the man who uses Schneider's character and then shows his hidden vulnerability; Schneider is pretty good at playing the spoilt rich brat who's touched more than she wants to be, but hard at the core anyway. That's everyone we know.

Shows how common misery is in all 'western societies'; nice cinematography all the dark sets and semi-gloomy atmospheres reflect very nicely the human themes of the film.

A classic.
