Chicago – What could “Last Tango in Paris,” “Moonstruck,” and “Rain Man” possibly have in common? Two won major oscars and the third should have? All three feature some of the career-best work by iconic actors? Honestly, all that they have in common is that they weren’t out on Blu-ray before and every catalog title needs a release date eventually and so MGM chose February 15th for the trio. Pick up all three.
If we had to pick a favorite, it would be Bernardo Bertolucci’s sexually-charged drama with its fantastic work by Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider. The landmark and controversial film, now re-rated Nc-17, has held up surprisingly well in the nearly four decades since its release. Classic film historians should definitely own it, even if the bare-bones nature of its Blu-ray release is a serious disappointment. Zero special features for “Last Tango in Paris”? That should be illegal.
