My Cousin Maria Schneider by Vanessa Schneider

4.0

My Cousin Maria Schneider is a biography about the French actress most known for starring with Marlon Brando in Last Tango In Paris and the assault she suffered as part of filming. The perspective in which it's written is unique as it's told by the actress's much younger cousin. The author has a curious and enamored outside view. The prose is sparse and poetic. I found it fascinating to read about their lives in the 1970s in France and the circles they belonged to.

Thank you Scribner and NetGalley for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.
