...matter how many people categorize the film incorrectly on the basis of promotion, it will still reach a much larger audience than it would have otherwise, and the clearest audience reaction will not be disgust or lust or even deep emotional involvement but rather the lack of impact that comes from viewing it only as a diversion. As a truly radical film, Last Tango in Paris is so far from the popular mind that it can have only subtle, nearly unconscious cultural influence, but it will influence other film makers, and Bertolucci, still a very young man, will make more...

...figures that populate his books are, instead, fantasmo embodiments of various sorts of foaming mania. Among the twitches ambulant in Arigato are compulsive gambling, saxophone playing, war games, gold lust, French cookery, banking, power-elitism and think-tankery. Fine, thinks the reader, that sounds lively...
