Studiocanal has unveiled a first still of Matt Dillon and Anamaria Vartolomei as Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider in Jessica Palud's 'Maria.'

Palud’s film sheds light on the tragic life of Maria 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. The film depicts how Schneider was imposed an un-simulated rape scene on the set of “The Last Tango in Paris” by Bertolucci and Brando. Speaking to Variety ahead of the Cannes Film Festival, Palud said both Dillon and Vartolomei told her these roles were “the hardest things” they had done as actors.
