love-god-herself:krismichelle429:femsolid:In 1975, Schneider recounted feelings of sexual humiliation pertaining to the sodomy scene:“I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can’t force someone to do something that isn’t in the script, but at the time, I didn’t know that. Marlon said to me: ‘Maria, don’t worry, it’s just a movie,’ but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn’t real, I was crying real tears. I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or apologise. Thankfully, there was just one take.”Schneider much later in life said that making the film was her life’s only regret, that it “ruined her life”, and that she considers Bertolucci a “gangster and a pimp”.In 2011, Bertolucci denied that he “stole her youth” (she was 19 at the time of filming), and commented, “The girl wasn’t mature enough to understand what was going on.“ In 2013 he said on Dutch College Tour, a television program, “I feel guilty, but I don’t regret it.”In December 2016, a clip emerged of Bertolucci explaining that the rape scene was non-consensual. Speaking at an event at La Cinémathèque Française in 2013, two years after Schneider’s death, he said, “The sequence of the butter is an idea that I had with Marlon in the morning before shooting,” Bertolucci continued, “I wanted her to act humiliated. I think she hated me and also Marlon because we didn’t tell her… To obtain something I think you have to be completely free. I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage, I wanted Maria to feel… the rage and humiliation. Then she hated me for all of her life.”She died from cancer on 3 February 2011 at age 58. Remembering her, Bertolucci said, “Her death came too soon, before I could hold her again tenderly, and tell her that I felt connected to her as on the first day, and for once, to ask her to forgive me.“He added, “Maria accused me of having robbed her of her youth and only today am I wondering whether there wasn’t some truth to that.”“non-consensual rape scene”So they raped her and they filmed it. That is what those three words mean, together, in the order that they used them. They know exactly what they did, and all the shifty language shuffling in the world can’t hide it.The actual Variety article reads: “Last Tango in Paris” director Bernardo Bertolucci confessed that he and Marlon Brando conspired against actress Maria Schneider during a rape scene in which the actor used a stick of butter as lubricant to simulate sex. The director addressed the non-consensual rape scene in a recently resurfaced interview from 2013. According to Bertolucci, he and Brando agreed not to tell Schneider what would happen to her because he wanted her reaction “as a girl, not as an actress.” He said that he and Schneider, who died in 2011, never saw one another after the film because she hated him.In the interview, Bertolucci recounts the origin of the rape scene between Brando, who was 48 at the time, and Schneider who was 19.“We were having, with Marlon [Brando], breakfast on the floor of the flat where I was shooting,” he said. “There was a baguette, there was butter and we looked at each other and, without saying anything, we knew what we wanted.”He added, “I had been, in a way, horrible to Maria because I didn’t tell her what was going on.”The director confessed that he feels guilty for not telling her about the butter, but he does not regret his decision to shoot the scene.“I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage,” he said. “I wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation. Then she hated me for her whole life.”Before her death, Schneider had spoke out about the scene including in an interview with the Daily Mail in which she said, “I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or apologize. Thankfully, there was just one take.”(Emphasis mine.) -- source link
