Maria

Anamaria Vartolomei said she wanted to honor Maria Schneider's spark with the role and not just dwell in darkness. "Maria was a very positive figure. She was fire, mischief, freedom, an electrifying presence. I have great admiration for her and her career, because she managed to draw on the strength she needed to make herself heard. She wanted to lift the veil and break the silence on taboo questions of violence and sexism within the industry. She wanted to protect future generations, and that unfortunately resonates with current events."
