Storyline

- TriviaBoth Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider admitted that they felt raped by this film and refused to speak with director Bernardo Bertolucci ever again. Yet in his autobiography, Brando says that Bertolucci was one of the three best directors he ever worked with.
- GoofsAs the camera pulls away from the balcony at the end, a crew member and a lighting array can be seen reflected in the glass panel of the right balcony door.
- Alternate versionsFor its original UK cinema release the BBFC suggested cuts to dialogue during the scissors scene and a heavy reduction of the infamous sodomy scene, though the former was rescinded when it was decided that the cuts would be difficult to make without ruining the scene. Instead a proposed cut of 20 secs was required to the sodomy scene to remove shots of Paul smearing butter on Jeanne's buttocks and some overhead shots of sexual thrusting. The latter was also waived following an appeal from the director and instead a mere 10 sec cut was made to the butter smearing. When the OPA (Obscene Publications Act) was extended to cover films a few years later BBFC censor James Ferman waived the cinema cut, and all post-1978 releases (including TV showings) have been the fully uncut version.

Featured review
Jeanne and Paul
In a book shop , I discovered the novel by Robert Alley , inspired by movie. And I loved it . It was the kick to see a film ignored, for so different causes, a long time. A film about loneliness, refuges, an appartment and sex as source of real feel to live.
Seductive, provocative, inspired crafted. Reminding other tries to offer the spirit of Ultimo tango a Parigi with sad status of only pale copies.
The temptation - to admire the great performance of Marlon Brando as a Paul reminding, in shadow manner, the character of book. And to be seduced by Maria Schneider effort for create the fair Jeanne.
I know, the word sounds pretentious, but the gift to viewer is a sort of...spell. Easy to call it seduction, being honest to admitt than it represents more.
