More Info:

The soundtrack of "Last Tango in Paris" (1972), composed by Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri, is one of the most iconic works in the history of cinema, perfectly embodying the emotions and themes of this controversial masterpiece by Bernardo Bertolucci. The film, masterfully interpreted by Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider, explores desire, pain and loneliness through a clandestine and intensely physical relationship between two strangers in Paris. Barbieri's music is a mix of sensuality, melancholy and passion, capturing the essence of the film in every note. The saxophone, the main instrument of the work, becomes the voice of the anguish and vulnerability of the protagonists, with a sound that oscillates between lyrical and lacerating. The main theme, characterized by a poignant and deeply evocative melody, is intertwined with jazz and Latin American music, two souls that reflect Barbieri's artistic identity. A distinctive element of the soundtrack is it's ability to convey a sense of intimacy and emotional tension. The songs, while often delicate, are not lacking in intensity and perfectly accompany the film's most dramatic and visceral scenes. Barbieri uses jazz not as pure entertainment but as an emotional language, capable of recounting the unsaid, the silences and contradictions of the protagonists. The soundtrack, in addition to being a musical success in it's own right, is an integral part of Bertolucci's narrative. The music amplifies the sense of disorientation and alienation that runs through the entire film, making it even more powerful and memorable. "Last Tango in Paris" is a film that made history, both for it's thematic audacity and for the quality of it's direction and performances. Bertolucci constructs a raw and poetic work, a portrait of humanity stripped of masks and social conventions. Marlon Brando offers one of his most intense and vulnerable performances, while Maria Schneider brings to the screen a freshness and complexity that make her character unforgettable. However, the film is not without controversy, both for the themes it deals with and for the methods used during filming, which have left a deep mark on it's performers, especially Schneider. Despite this, "Last Tango in Paris" remains a work that continues to be discussed and studied for it's artistic scope. In conclusion, Gato Barbieri's soundtrack is one of the elements that makes this film a unique experience. It is music that is lived, more than listened to, capable of transporting the viewer directly into the heart of the emotions that the film wants to communicate. A masterpiece that, even today, remains a point of reference for the union between cinema and music. Now available in double transparent blue vinyl / 180 grams, limited edition numbered 1000 copies, for the first time with some unreleased tracks in vinyl format.
