But at the time, I didnРІР‚в„ўt know that.РІР‚СњР”В«ut despite SchneiderРІР‚в„ўs past comments, the video interview with Bertolucci struck a chord this weekend as it circulated on social media that the director was admitting that the scene was non-consensual.Р”Р„ctress Jessica Chastain wrote on Twitter that she felt РІР‚СљsickРІР‚Сњ over the revelation that РІР‚Сљthe director planned her attack.РІР‚Сњ

РІР‚СљI should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you canРІР‚в„ўt force someone to do something that isnРІР‚в„ўt in the script. РІР‚СљThey only told me about it before we had to film the scene, and I was so angry,РІР‚Сњ Schneider said. Schneider, who died in 2011 at age 58 after a lengthy illness, spoke a number of times about the scene between her, then aged 19, and Marlon Brando, then 48, even saying in a 2007 Daily Mail interview that she РІР‚Сљfelt a little rapedРІР‚Сњ by her co-star and director. A recently unearthedР’В video interview (below) with Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci from 2013 has renewed interest, and outrage, over what happened to actress Maria Schneider on set during the infamous butter rape scene.Р”В«ertolucci said that neither he nor Marlon Brando told Schneider of their plans to use the stick of butter during the simulated rape scene РІР‚вЂњ a concept they came up with the morning of the shoot РІР‚вЂњ because he wanted her to react РІР‚Сљas a girl not as an actress.РІР‚Сњ He wanted her, he said, to feel РІР‚Сљthe rage and the humiliation.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљLast Tango in ParisРІР‚Сњ is making headlines again 44 years after the controversial film came out.

The only novelty was the idea of the butter.РІР‚СњР”В«ernardo BertolucciРІР‚в„ўs РІР‚СљLast Tango in ParisРІР‚Сњ was very controversial when it came out and is considered a classic today, but many people have commented about the treatment of actress Maria Schneider to many eye rolls. That is false!РІР‚СњР”В«ertolucci added that РІР‚СљMaria knew everything because she had read the script, where it was all described. РІР‚СљSomebody thought, and thinks, that Maria had not been informed about the violence on her.

РІР‚СљWe wanted her spontaneous reaction to that improper use. РІР‚СљI specified, but perhaps I was not clear, that I decided with Marlon Brando not to inform Maria that we would have used butter,РІР‚Сњ he noted. РІР‚СљSeveral years ago at the CinematР“РЃque Francais someone asked me for details on the famous РІР‚Сљbutter scene. In MondayРІР‚в„ўs statement, issued in Italian, Bertolucci said: РІР‚СљI would like, for the last time, to clear up a ridiculous misunderstanding that continues to generate press reports about РІР‚СљLast Tango in ParisРІР‚Сњ around the world.РІР‚Сњ
