Last Tango

Love the sex in this movie, particularly from the first and last scenes. So raw, so passionate; strong in some parts and gentle in others--mediated by an evident strong chemistry between the performers. My only quibble is that the plot doesn't do the sex justice. I'm just not sold on it. Without knowing the details of the story, one would be forgiven for thinking there is a backstory underpinning the chemistry between the two performers exhibited in the first scene, and yet the viewer is supposed to believe that they are complete strangers to each other on first encounter. There is very little in the way of character development as the movie progresses to at least remediate the initial "inconsistency", so in the end you're left with an awkward story punctuated with some of the best sex you'll see on film.

Strange plot for initial scene, never recovered. Rough and my wife finally said to cut it off with the third scene.
