The drama "Being Maria" reframes the short career and tragic life of "Last Tango in Paris" star Maria Schneider in a post-#MeToo light. "Happening" breakout Anamaria Vartolomei plays Schneider, while Matt Dillon takes on the role of her co-star Marlon Brando. The film in part tracks the controversial production and wrenching fallout of Bernardo Bertolucci's 1972 masterpiece -- a landmark that made Schneider an icon while locking her into a sexualized image she never could escape. Palud's sophomore feature also marks a fitting echo for the Gallic auteur, who kicked off her professional life on the set of Bertolucci's "The Dreamers."
