Maria Schneider is about to begin filming Last Tango in Paris by Bernardo Bertolucci. Just emerging from her teenage years, she is unaware that the film that will make her famous and immortal will also traumatize her for a lifetime. Jessica Palud finally pays the long-overdue tribute to the late actress Maria Schneider, in a post-MeToo era that painfully resonates with the film's harshest scenes. Marlon Brando, consumed by self-destruction, is dragged into the abyss by Bertolucci's perverse desire to capture him on film, with Maria's innocence as the vessel. Matt Dillon and Anamaria Vartolomei (The Count of Monte Cristo) are stunning.
