Last Tango in Paris(1972)
A middle-aged American, whose wife has just committed suicide, meets a young French girl when they both view an apartment in Paris at the same time. They begin a strange, anonymous sexual relationship in the empty apartment, agreeing not to divulge any personal information to each other.

To start, the print itself is in excellent condition, with only a few scattered specks but no major debris, scratches, or staining. The film's grain structure has been left untouched—there's not a trace of any over-zealous noise reduction here—and the image is unmodified by any edge enhancement, boosting, or other forms of digital tinkering. The picture is somewhat soft at times, but I suspect this is due to the way the film was shot, and not any default in the transfer process. That said, clarity gets a major improvement over SDVD releases, especially in the scenes that take place outside the apartment, which tend to be brighter and sharper. Throughout, the film's uterine color palette—all warm reds and pinks and salmons—is richly represented, black levels are adequately deep, and skin tones are natural. (Brando's face does veer towards orange on occasion, but apparently he did all of his own make-up without fully understanding how cinematographer Vittorio Storaro was going to light the scenes.) Aside from some light noise, the disc is free from any significant compression issues. I'm very pleased with how this transfer turned out. Last Tango in Paris Blu-ray, Audio QualityRather than try to expand the film's original elements into a 5.1 mix, MGM has wisely opted to stick with a DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mono track. This is, after all, a film that's almost entirely driven by dialogue and score, with very little effects or ambience. (There aren't many noises in an empty apartment.) The only oddity that I noticed is that there are a few instances where the volume of the score and vocals seems to fluctuate slightly within a scene. Otherwise, I have no concerns about this mix at all—there are no hisses, crackles, drop-outs, or other audio hiccups. Gato Barbieri's music sounds wonderful and full—it's a beautiful score—and the dialogue is always comprehensible. (If not always clean. There's some minor muffling occasionally, but this seems mostly due to the nature of on-location recording.) The disc also includes mono Dolby Digital tracks in French, Spanish, German, and Catalan, as well as subtitles in a variety of languages.
