Which Marlon Brando movie was banned in Italy? Correct Following its 1972 debut, "Last Tango in Paris," featuring Marlon Brando, faced a ban in Italy due to its explicit sexual material and contentious subjects. Italian officials considered the film indecent, prompting its prompt removal from cinemas. Bernardo Bertolucci, the director, faced legal action and condemnation for obscenity, resulting in a ruling from the Italian Supreme Court to eradicate all existing copies of the film. In 1987, after a span of fifteen years since its initial release, the prohibition on the film was lifted, allowing it to be screened in Italy once more.
