Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The drama "Being Maria" reframes the short career and tragic life of "Last Tango in Paris" star Maria Schneider in a post-#MeToo light. "Happening" breakout Anamaria Vartolomei plays Schneider, while Matt Dillon takes on the role of her co-star Marlon Brando. The film in part tracks the controversial production and wrenching fallout of Bernardo Bertolucci's 1972 masterpiece -- a landmark that made Schneider an icon while locking her into a sexualized image she never could escape. Palud's sophomore feature also marks a fitting echo for the Gallic auteur, who kicked off her professional life on the set of Bertolucci's "The Dreamers." |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Anamaria Vartolomei said she wanted to honor Maria Schneider's spark with the role and not just dwell in darkness. "Maria was a very positive figure. She was fire, mischief, freedom, an electrifying presence. I have great admiration for her and her career, because she managed to draw on the strength she needed to make herself heard. She wanted to lift the veil and break the silence on taboo questions of violence and sexism within the industry. She wanted to protect future generations, and that unfortunately resonates with current events." See more » |

| Quotes |
Bernardo Bertolucci:
About a man and a woman who meet just by chance and who decide to put themselves on hold. That is, to pursue a physical relationship. An intense and desperate one without knowing anything about each other. Not even their names. Like a kind of impossible bet. See more » |
