Anamaria Vartolomei Talks ‘Being Maria,’ Fighting for Change Within the Entertainment Industry at Cannes


Anamaria Vartolomei stars in "Being Maria," the film directed and written by Jessica Palud that saw its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival May 21.

Vartolomei says since starring in Diwan’s drama “Happening,” which was set in the 1960s and centered around the then-illegal act of abortion, she has continued being lured to demanding roles with political and social themes. In Jessica Palud’s “Being Maria,” Vartolomei embodies Schneider, who starred opposite Marlon Brando in Bernardo Bertolucci’s “The Last Tango in Paris” at the age of 19 and never recovered from the shoot. Looking forward, Vartolomei reveals she will star in a film by Romanian filmmaker Teodora Ana Mihai, which is set to be released early next year.
