The Cinémathèque Française in Paris has canceled a screening of Bernardo Bertolucci’s controversial film Last Tango in Paris, citing “potential security risks.” The decision follows protests by women’s rights activists, who accused the cinema of not providing sufficient context about the infamous rape scene, which was filmed without the consent of actress Maria Schneider.

The Cinémathèque Française in Paris has canceled a screening of Last Tango in Paris, following significant backlash from women’s rights groups. The film, which features a notorious rape scene filmed without the consent of actress Maria Schneider, sparked protests from activists who accused the cinema of failing to provide necessary context for viewers.

In response to growing tensions and threats of violence, Cinémathèque director Frédéric Bonnaud explained that the decision was made “to calm tensions and in light of potential security risks.” He emphasized that the cinema could not compromise the safety of its staff and audience, as violent individuals had started making threats. “We are a cinema, not a fortress. We cannot take risks with the safety of our staff and audience,” Bonnaud told AFP.

The screening, which was part of a retrospective dedicated to American actor Marlon Brando, was scheduled for Sunday evening. However, the controversy surrounding the film’s infamous scene led to the cancellation. Actress Judith Godrèche, a key figure in France’s #MeToo movement, publicly criticized the decision to screen the film without providing context. She expressed her dismay on Instagram, urging the Cinémathèque to respect the memory of Schneider, who was only 19 years old at the time of filming. “It’s time to wake up, dear Cinémathèque, and restore humanity to 19-year-old actresses by behaving humanely,” she wrote.

The cancellation has sparked a broader debate over the responsibility of filmmakers and institutions in addressing sensitive content, particularly when it involves exploitation and the mistreatment of actors.

The controversy surrounding Last Tango in Paris has ignited a fierce debate on the ethics of filmmaking, the treatment of actors, and the responsibility of cultural institutions in addressing problematic pasts. The scene in question, in which Marlon Brando’s character sexually assaults Maria Schneider’s character, was filmed without Schneider’s consent, a fact that was revealed years after the film’s release. Schneider, who was 19 at the time, later spoke out about the trauma caused by the incident, expressing that she felt exploited and violated by the director Bernardo Bertolucci and Brando.

In light of this, the Cinémathèque Française faced mounting pressure to reconsider its decision to screen the film as part of a retrospective honoring Brando. Activists and critics alike have argued that screening the film without providing context would undermine the painful legacy of Schneider’s experience. The Cinémathèque had initially planned to host a debate following the screening to discuss the film’s impact and its controversial scene, but the backlash made it clear that such a discussion could not take place without acknowledging the deeper, more problematic aspects of the film’s production.

Judith Godrèche, who has long been a vocal advocate for women’s rights in the entertainment industry, took to social media to highlight the importance of recognizing the human cost behind such scenes. She wrote, “This isn’t just about a film, it’s about how we treat young actresses and how we’ve allowed this kind of abuse to happen for decades.” She also emphasized the need for the Cinémathèque to take responsibility for its role in screening the film without proper acknowledgment of its history.

The cancellation of the screening and the surrounding discussions have raised critical questions about the lasting impact of Last Tango in Paris on both its audience and the entertainment industry as a whole. Some argue that the film should be kept in the public eye as a historical example of the mistreatment of actors, while others insist that a full, honest conversation about the abuse Schneider endured is necessary to truly understand the film’s legacy.

The issue has also reignited discussions about the importance of consent in filmmaking and the ethical responsibility of directors and actors alike. While Bertolucci defended his actions in the past, claiming it was essential for the realism of the scene, the events surrounding the filming have caused lasting harm to Schneider, who later became an outspoken critic of the industry’s treatment of women.

As the Cinémathèque and other cultural institutions continue to navigate the complexities of screening controversial works, the incident serves as a reminder of the power of cinema to both challenge and perpetuate harmful practices. The calls for accountability, sparked by Schneider’s tragic experience, are leading to a broader reexamination of how the film industry handles issues of consent, exploitation, and the treatment of actors.

The decision to cancel the screening of Last Tango in Paris has highlighted the growing sensitivity toward issues of consent, abuse, and exploitation within the film industry. In addition to Judith Godrèche’s outspoken criticism, other prominent figures in the #MeToo movement have voiced their concerns about the ethical implications of screening a film with such a problematic history, especially without providing sufficient context. The incident underscores the growing demand for transparency and accountability within the entertainment world, particularly when it comes to addressing past wrongdoings.

While some supporters of Last Tango in Paris argue that it is a significant work of art that should be preserved and appreciated for its historical value, others contend that the film’s enduring legacy is forever tainted by the abuse Schneider endured. Critics of the decision to show the film without context have emphasized that simply watching the film in its original form, without addressing the deeper issues involved in its making, risks glorifying the abuse and perpetuating harmful cultural norms.

This ongoing debate has also led to calls for greater responsibility in how classic films are presented to modern audiences. Many believe that institutions like the Cinémathèque Française, which plays a significant role in preserving cinematic history, have a duty to frame controversial works in a way that encourages critical reflection. Instead of screening the film in isolation, the inclusion of historical context—discussing the abuse Schneider faced and the ways in which the industry has changed since—could allow audiences to engage with the film in a more informed and responsible manner.

The Cinémathèque Française’s decision to cancel the screening reflects broader concerns within the film industry about how to reckon with its past while still acknowledging the artistic value of certain works. Many in the industry are now grappling with how to balance artistic freedom with ethical responsibility, particularly when it comes to films that contain troubling depictions of violence or exploitation.

In addition to the debate over Last Tango in Paris, the controversy has sparked a wider conversation about the treatment of women in the film industry, both in front of and behind the camera. As more women share their stories of harassment, exploitation, and abuse, the industry has been forced to confront its historical patterns of mistreatment. The ongoing reckoning has led to significant changes in how women are treated in Hollywood and beyond, including the creation of more comprehensive guidelines on consent during filming, stronger support systems for actors, and greater scrutiny of directors and producers.

The Last Tango in Paris debate has served as a powerful reminder of the importance of addressing the harm caused by films that have been considered cultural touchstones. It also highlights the need for institutions like the Cinémathèque to not only preserve and celebrate cinema’s history but to ensure that they are promoting ethical standards and fostering an environment where the rights and dignity of all individuals involved in filmmaking are respected. By engaging in these conversations and taking responsibility for the past, institutions can help pave the way for a more ethical and inclusive future for the film industry.

As the conversation around Last Tango in Paris continues, it will likely serve as a pivotal moment in how the industry rethinks its treatment of actors, the legacy of problematic films, and the responsibility of cultural institutions in shaping public understanding of film history. Ultimately, this controversy highlights the power of cinema to both reflect and shape societal values, making it crucial to approach films with sensitivity to their broader implications and the experiences of those involved in their creation.
