Maria

Chewed up and spat out by the horrific practices of the past.

A very interesting movie about Maria Schneider and the aftermath of her mistreatment at the hands of Marlon Brando and Bernardo Bertolucci during the filming of Last Tango In Paris.

The lead actress is excellent as the titular character but like all biographical films it ends up being a whistle stop tour of her live. Informative though it is.

The movie is well made and captures the oeuvre of the day.

The rest of the cast is fine and Schneider's downfall is played with respect and honesty.

The movie does miss out a couple of points in her life. Namely her promiscuity as a budding actress is glossed over to make the assault caught on camera all the more shocking. Also her later life consisted of campaigning to get actors more protection from devious directors and producers that prey upon the young and vulnerable.
