Love Scenes From Movies That Crossed the Line

Last Tango in Paris

Unlike typical love scenes, Last Tango in Paris depicted a disturbing encounter rather than romantic intimacy. Marlon Brando’s character uses butter as lubricant in a violent act with Jeanne, played by Maria Schneider. Schneider later revealed that she felt truly violated during the scene, citing Brando and director Bertolucci’s unsettling decisions and her lack of consent during filming.
