"Several years ago at the Cinemathèque Francaise someone asked me for details on the famous 'butter' scene. "I would like, for the last time, to clear up a ridiculous misunderstanding that continues to generate press reports about Last Tango in Paris around the world," he began. Update: Now that the news has gained global media attention, Bertolucci released a statement on Monday saying that his words in the 2013 interview had been misinterpreted. The 2 of them are very sick individuals to think that was ok. As a woman, I am horrified, disgusted and enraged by it. To all the people that love this film- you're watching a 19yr old get raped by a 48yr old man.
Jessica Chastain tweeted, "To all the people that love this film- you're watching a 19yr old get raped by a 48yr old man," and although it's unclear whether she is under the impression that forced sexual intercourse actually took place, her sentiment was shared by director Ava Duvernay and actress Evan Rachel Wood (who just last week opened up about how she was once raped). Kendrick and Evans weren't the only celebrities to discuss the matter, either. They should be in jail.- Chris Evans December 3, 2016 I used to get eye-rolls when I brought it up to people (aka dudes).- Anna Kendrick December 3, 2016 Ms Schneider stated this several years ago. I feel rage - Chris Evans December 3, 2016 I will never look at this film, Bertolucci or Brando the same way again. Anna Kendrick said as much during a conversation with Chris Evans on Twitter, where she pointed out that she'd seen Schneider's story years ago, saying "I used to get eye-rolls when I brought it up to people (aka dudes)." One can assume that the recent heightened awareness about Hollywood's long and seedy history of sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, and a shocking gender pay disparity is why Schneider's claims are now being taken seriously. Thankfully, there was just one take."Īdding a troubling new layer to the story is that this news is just gaining prominence now, despite the actress's multiple attempts to bring attention to the situation before her death in 2011. After the scene, Marlon didn't console me or apologize. I felt humiliated and, to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and Bertolucci. 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 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. They only told me about it before we had to film the scene and I was so angry. The truth is it was Marlon who came up with the idea. "That scene wasn't in the original script. Then she hated me for all of her life." After the film premiered, Schneider went on to struggle with serious depression and drug addiction, and she spoke out about the vile backstory of the controversial scene in an interview with the Daily Mail in 2007: I didn't want Maria to act her humiliation or rage, I wanted her to feel. To obtain something, I think you have to be completely free. "I think she hated me and also Marlon because we didn't tell her. "I wanted her to react humiliated," Bertolucci added before saying that he didn't "regret" his and Brando's actions. To be clear, no actual sex took place, but that doesn't make Brando forcing himself on Schneider any less disgusting or OK. Although he said he felt awful "in a way" for his treatment of Schneider, he rationalized it by saying that he "wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress." "The sequence of the butter is an idea that I had with Marlon in the morning before shooting," Bertulocci revealed while being interviewed at La Cinémathèque Francaise. In it, Bertolucci admits that he and the film's leading man, Marlon Brando, conspired to film the movie's infamous "butter" rape scene - in which Brando's character uses a stick of butter to help him rape actress Maria Schneider's character - without the consent of the 19-year-old star. On Friday, a 2013 video of Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci discussing one of his 1972 films, The Last Tango in Paris, resurfaced and caused an uproar. This article has been updated with new information and contains a disturbing story of rape and assault.
