Giving Last Tango Another Whirl


I had meant to send up this link last week, but, some other stuff got in the way.

The film, which recently debuted on Blu-Ray, was already on lots of people’s minds thanks to the untimely death of Maria Schneider this past February. Their conversation is lengthy, fascinating, and well worth the read -- and it prompted some further thoughts of my own, which I'll share below.
