shortly before bertolucci made 'last tango in paris' he made another provocative film called 'partner', which was more experimental but full of his sense of beauty. the protagonist/antagonist of the film was played by pierre clementi. this poetic actor made over 100 films, the most well known being 'belle du jour' with catherine deneuve.
he is like a time bomb ticking away. i have never seen pierre clementi appear less than dangerous.
i imagine 'partner' is one of bertolucci's films that is studied in film school. it is very of it's time.
