For the rest of the 1970s, Schneider opted to star in small-budgeted, independent European productions, such as the little-seen Swiss period piece "Violanta" (1976, with a young Gérard Depardieu), and three consciously feministic works: the Italian production "I Belong to Me" ("Io Sono Mia") (1978, with Stefania Sandrelli); the graphic, disturbing "Memoirs of a French Whore" (French title: "La Dérobade") (1978, alongside Miou-Miou, and for which Schneider was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 1980 5th César Awards); and the lesbian Dutch drama "A Woman Like Eve", directed by Nouchka van Brakel, where Schneider plays the bohemian love interest of conflicted Monique van de Ven who is married to and has children with Peter Faber.
