Being Maria Blu-ray Available May 27 from Kino Lorber

Being Maria, a gripping biopic directed by Jessica Palud, is set for a Blu-ray release by Kino Lorber on May 27, 2025. The film stars Anamaria Vartolomei as the young, promising actress Maria Schneider, alongside Matt Dillon, Giuseppe Maggio, Marie Gillain, and Céleste Brunnquell. Inspired by the real-life events surrounding the making of Last Tango in Paris, this film brings to light the untold ordeal Schneider endured during the filming process.

Maria Schneider, portrayed by Vartolomei, initially finds herself living a dream when she lands a lead role in a quest that promises to elevate her career. As she delves into her work with acclaimed filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci and American icon Marlon Brando (played by Dillon), the artistic and personal connections she shared with them seemed promising. However, the facade crumbles when these trusted mentors insidiously plot a disturbing on-set experience that marks the start of Maria’s personal turmoil.

This biographical drama reframes the narrative to spotlight Maria's harrowing experience amidst the celebrated acclaim of the film's release. The Blu-ray release not only offers audiences a chance to revisit or discover this poignant story but also includes exclusive special features for an enriched viewing experience.
