“Maria” 重新塑造了《巴黎最后的探戈》女主角玛丽亚·施奈德的演艺生涯和悲剧人生。《正发生》中的新星安娜玛丽亚·瓦托洛梅饰演施奈德，而马特·狄龙则饰演与她搭档的马龙·白兰度。本片在一定程度上追踪了贝纳尔多·贝托鲁奇1972年杰作的争议性制作和痛苦后果——这一里程碑式的作品使施奈德一夜成名的同时将她锁定在一个她永远无法逃脱的形象中。这部电影也与贝托鲁奇相呼应，导演帕吕的职业生涯是在《戏梦巴黎》的片场开始的。

Maria, an enigmatic young drifter, takes over the job of piloting a tiny ferry in a small secluded village after the mysterious death of the former ferryman, and one night gives a ride to a wounded man. Later, when Death comes to claim his life, she tries to save him by engaging the Grim Reaper in a delirious dance of doom. Can true love triumph in the face of certain destiny?

This dark psychological thriller draws us slowly but surely into Maria's strange world. Tension mounts as she is buffeted by interactions with her abusive husband, demanding father, and meek paramour. This housewife, who initially appears outwardly unassuming and unremarkable, is shown to possess an inner landscape of the mind which is twisted and scarred. Techniques of German Expressionist cinema gradually give us insight into her psyche. Why does she write letter after letter to herself, stashing them in a living room cabinet? Secret after secret is gradually revealed, until the chilling and disturbing conclusion.
