Bernardo Bertolucci's 1972 film Last Tango in Paris has been hailed as "a landmark in movie history" by New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael, as well as pornography and polarizing, for its torrid sex scenes between a paunchy, middle-aged Brando and very young Maria Schneider. Tomorrow night, at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the movie is being screened by none other than actor-Tweeter Alec Baldwin and writer-director James Toback, who will be discussing the film afterwards. And there are still tickets left (details below)!

Whit Stillman Is Back—And At Lincoln Center With Damsels in Distress
Has it really been 14 years since writer-director Whit Stillman's last movie? The Last Days of Disco was released in 1998, which had followed Metropolitan (1990) and Barcelona (1994), each film in its own way satisfying the world's desire to see anxious "preppies and patricians" fall in and out of love. Now, at last, his fourth effort, Damsels in Distress, is being released and you have the chance to attend a sneak preview attended by Stillman, who loves writing at Dunkin Donuts.
