A review by vedaolivia
My Cousin Maria Schneider by Vanessa Schneider

reflective sad

4.5

The next day on the stage at the Olympia, standing before fans who paid premium prices for their seats, Patti Smith reads a list of the dead. Your name resounds in the microphone. Maria Schneider. The crows explodes with cheers and applause. 

of course, such an important story. but above all, i would say this was a really beautiful exploration of the importance of having a role model as a little girl and how crushing it can be when you get old enough to realize that person is flawed. just amazing.
