‘Being Maria’: Anamaria Vartolomei and Matt Dillon on ‘Challenge’ of Embodying Maria Schneider and Marlon Brando in Upcoming Biopic (EXCLUSIVE)
Matt Dillon and Anamaria Vartolomei rethink 'Last Tango in Paris' in an upcoming Maria Schneider biopic.
Currently in post-production and aiming for a festival premiere later this year, 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.” “I thought to myself, this is something Brando himself might have done, because he was very courageous that way,” Dillon tells Variety ahead of Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris, where Orange Studio is launching world sales for the film.
