As if Marlon Brando really raped her.
« I suppose you have read the scenario carefully. And you noticed that there are a lot of scenes in which you will be naked, » said nineteen -year -old actress Marii Schneider director Bernardo Bertolucci when he first met her to divide the film Last Tango in Paris.
When he saw that he had some concern in addition to determination, he tried to calm her. « Don’t worry, I’ll do everything we can to shoot it as artistically as we can. »
For the young Maria, this film was a life opportunity. Bertolucci was a recognized artist at the top of the forces, and Marlon Brando was devoted to her on the lung not only as a much more experienced colleague, but also as a caring father who was missing her whole life. The shooting was difficult, but she needed that experience.
She proudly enjoyed it – until the scene came when both betrayed it.
Kill a woman from passion? What romantic. The Frenchman has been running for a long time what is behind the death of a famous actress Read
On that day Brando and Bertolucci had breakfast alone. In the same apartment as the film was shot. They discussed the scene where a violent sexual act should have occurred. Both of them fell on butter, and without needing to explain something, they decided to surprise Maria.
They used the butter as a lubricant and shot the scene in a reckless way than it was in the scenario.
The film Maria is getting into the world cinemas these weeks. French director Jessica Palud talks about what this idea for a young and inexperienced actress meant at that time and how fatal remarked her whole life.
Nothing was supposed to be played. Also her tears were true
We haven’t had such a breakthrough work here yet. This film will be discussed as long as there is cinematography, critics wrote enthusiastically when the last tango came to the cinemas in 1972.
His story was very simple to look at. The man and the woman meet in the streets of Paris and agree to survive a purely sexual relationship. They meet regularly in an empty apartment without saying how they are called and what they are in life.
It was a great social experiment for Bertolucci.
He was convinced that when one rescued from all social categories that define him in different ways, his essence, his real self, would be fully manifested. Maybe dark and perhaps dangerous, but the only one that is authentic.
