Author: John H. Foote November 20, 2011 One of the most sexually explicit films since Bernardo Bertolucci’s Last Tango in Paris (1973), Steve McQueen’s Shame parallels that masterpiece in many ways, the most obvious being the stunning performance from Michael Fassbender. Both films explore escape through intense sexual activity, but Brando’s Paul in Last Tango in Paris (1973) was a on a flight from grief following the recent suicide of his Parisian wife, leaving him with far too many questions, wrapped up in so much guilt, forever blaming himself. In Shame, Brandon is not feeling guilt from the death of a spouse, but is being torn apart emotionally by issues from his past that he has not dealt properly with. Much of Last Tango in Paris (1973), if not all, was improvised, with Brando clearly in his element being permitted to create his character as he moved through the film, while Shame was clearly a scripted work, matched to startling images from its filmmaker.
