Being Maria

Being Maria

DVD - 2025

Maria Schneider is a promising, young French actress. When she gets the lead in a feature film directed by an acclaimed Italian filmmaker and starring one of America's most beloved actors, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. Her collaborators, director Bernardo Bertolucci and star Marlon Brando seem to be bringing out the best in Maria, sharing a warm rapport and mentorship with the 19-year-old girl. Until one day, when the two men conspire to shoot a crucial sex scene as a harrowing assault without letting Maria in on the plan. The film goes on to be lauded as a fearless artistic breakthrough, but for Maria, it's the beginning of a living hell.
