Last Tango in Paris(1972)

6.9/10

dir. Bernardo Bertolucci

S-Tier

S-Tier Vinegar Syndrome 4K. Bertolucci's controversial 1972 film with Brando. VS picked this up, and the slipcover sold out fast with an alternate version available through Melusine. The behind-the-scenes story is widely known and comes up every time this film is mentioned. Whether VS should have released it is debated, but it's been in print on physical media for decades.

The Nightcomers(1972)

5.6/10

dir. Michael Winner

Brando's prequel to The Innocents is one of Michael Winner's stranger detours, and StudioCanal giving it a standalone 4K release is unexpected. The film leans harder into the psychosexual tension that Clayton's version only implied.
