Bertolucci and Brando should have respected Schneider as an actress and entrusted that she would get to that emotional place without any humiliating tactics. By blurring the lines between personal and professional life for their own sexist pleasure, Bertolucci and Brando's cruel actions led to Schneider's mental and emotional trauma. It is difficult to view "Last Tango in Paris" without being a participant in Schneider's real-life sexual humiliation, and one should consider whether or not Bertolucci's drama deserves to be recognized in light of her harrowing experience. Watching the infamous butter scene below.
Artistic achievement should not be tied genuine psychological torture. After Marlon Brando died in 2004, Maria Schneider watched Last Tango in Paris once again and found it kitsch. We need to stop romanticizing method-style acting (that Brando was famous for), and the idea that the actual humans behind the role must be having a lived-in traumatizing experience in order to attain their best performance. The controversy surrounding Last Tango in Paris calls attention to the fair treatment of actors, especially when having to perform scenes of a sexual or violent nature.
