"Genius" Destroyers
An emotion-charged expose of exploitation and coercion. Bertolucci and Brando literally groomed Maria Schneider into trusting them and then they raped her. Both of them are criminals not artists and the evil and narcissism on display in this film makes your skin crawl. Schneider thought she was working with "artists" and trusted these two disgusting egomaniacs who used her and threw her away like a piece of exposed celluloid. The reenactment of the rape scene is still harrowing and shot to protect Anamarie Vartolomei unlike the original which is shockingly disgusting. Brando is a big fat ugly monster and Matt Dillon could have gone deeper to reveal the truly demented psychology behind his so-called "genius". Bertolucci enjoyed watching her violation and his vicious voyeurism destroyed her life. He never warned her or apologized or took any responsibility for the aftermath his pretentious and violent film left her to struggle through. Both of these men should have served jail time for what they did to MARIA SCHNEIDER. Kudos to the filmmakers for revealing the dark underside of LTinP and the frauds that Brando and Bertolucci are.
