It’s the early 1970s. The illegitimate daughter of a French character actor, Maria (Anamaria Vartolomei) is an aspiring young actress, herself. At 19, she miraculously lands the female lead in a groundbreaking feature film by a brilliant up-and-coming Italian director. She’ll be playing opposite one of America’s most formidable movie stars. But what seems like a dream come true turns out to be a nightmare.\u00a0The actress is Maria Schneider. Her co-star is Marlon Brando. The director is Bernardo Bertolucci. The movie is Last Tango in Paris<\/em>. A highly erotic art film, its raw depiction of rape and graphic sexuality led to international controversy and drew various levels of censorship around the world. The MPAA gave the film an X rating. Bertolucci and Brando both received suspended two-month prison sentences in Italy. But long before the advent of #MeToo and intimacy counsellors, the real toll of the brutal, intentionally calculated on-set sexual and emotional manipulation fell upon Schneider. It devastated her entire life.<\/p>\n

Jessica Palud<\/strong>\u00a0 began her career as an assistant director. In 2013, she turned to writing and directing with her first feature, Les yeux ferm\u00e9s<\/em>. That was followed by two shorts, Poup\u00e9e<\/em> (2016) and Marlon<\/em> (2017), which was nominated for a C\u00e9sar Award for Best Short Film. Her second feature film, Revenir<\/em> (2019), garnered the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival, and Being Maria<\/em><\/strong> had its world premiere this year in Cannes.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/being-maria-french.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
