    Paris screening of ‘Last Tango in Paris’ canceled amid controversy

    Paris screening of ‘Last Tango in Paris’ canceled amid controversy

    There was no screening as planned of Last Tango in Paris (1972), by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci (1941-2018), on Sunday, December 15, at La Cinémathèque Française. The cinema establishment in Paris, which had scheduled it as part of a retrospective devoted to American actor Marlon Brando (1924-2004), canceled the screening the night before. The lack of mediation around the film, which shows a rape scene shot without the consent of actress Maria Schneider (1952-2011), had provoked protests all week from film personalities and feminist associations.

    “In a bid to calm spirits and in view of the security risks involved, La Cinémathèque Française is canceling the screening scheduled for this Sunday, at 8 pm,” wrote the establishment, in a statement issued on Saturday evening. “The safety of our audiences and staff comes before any other consideration.” In similar circumstances, the cinema had in 2017 canceled a retrospective devoted to French filmmaker Jean-Claude Brisseau (1944-2019), convicted in 2005 of sexual harassment, after an outcry from feminist associations.
