Last Tango rape scene revelation sparks outrage

Controversial movie Last Tango in Paris is making headlines again 44 years after it was released.

A recently unearthed video interview with Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci from 2013 has renewed interest, and outrage, over what happened to actress Maria Schneider on set during the infamous butter rape scene.

Bertolucci said that neither he nor Marlon Brando told Schneider of their plans to use the stick of butter during the simulated rape scene, a concept they came up with the morning of the shoot because he wanted her to react "as a girl not as an actress". He wanted her, he said, to feel "the rage and the humiliation".
