A film whose infamy precedes it, Last Tango in Paris has always been sold heavily off the back of its graphical content as much as anything else. But thats always sold the film short. Bernardo Bertoluccis film is an intelligent, exceptionally well-acted story of two people who are drawn together. Its a cold, physical relationship they have, testament to the darkness in their respective lives, and the production makes no attempt to present it as anything other than that. … mehrIts haunting cinema, in a film thats very much stood the test of time. Whats particularly impressive about its Blu-ray presentation is how it complements Last Tango in Paris so strongly. The stark framing of the film is only enhanced here by the quality and clarity of the 1080p upgrade. The audio, too, has been cleaned up, albeit in a respectful way that doesnt seek to force an overly-zealous surround sound mix on a film that doesnt need, or was intended to have, one. Sadly, theres not much in the way of supplementary material to beef the disc out. The original theatrical trailer is of interest, but theres a deeper look at the film waiting to be made. Yet the excellent, natural video transfer in particular makes the upgrade worth the investment. A cliché, perhaps, but its a classic film that really hasnt look better. --Jon Foster weniger
