Schneider's career was boosted when director Claude Sautet began casting her with Michel Piccoli in a series of movies, many of which focused on her appeal as an intelligent, sexually modern woman. These included Les Choses de la Vie (The Things of Life) in 1970, Max et les ferrailleurs (Max and the Junkmen) in 1971, and 1972's César et Rosalie. She reprised her "Sissi" role when Visconti made the 1973 period drama Ludwig, about the princess's cousin, Prince Ludwig II of Bavaria. This time... her Sissi was no sweet ingénue but rather a calculating young woman who views her increasingly unstable cousin Ludwig, who is in love with her, as an unsuitable choice for a spouse.
