HOUSE OF GUCCI
When Patrizia Regiani (Lady Gaga) marries into the Gucci family, we then see a story of betrayal; decadence; revenge; and murder.
People criticize this film because it was so over the top, but maybe this whole story based on the book by Sara Gay Forden is over the top. Maybe Ridley Scott who directed this, was spot on.
I did not know the story going in. I do have to say, it is a bat shit crazy fun ride.
No spoilers here but it feels like I am watching I'Tonya again, where you question, is this real. It is real.
What makes it over the top?
Adam Driver, who plays Maurizio Gucci, is over the top as the Gucci heir who lets everything go to his head. He is over the top.
Al Pacino as Uncle Aldo Gucci is just a bit crazy and a bit cold and yes over the top.
Jared Leto unrecognizable as Paolo Gucci the forgotten son....well they try to forget him but he keeps popping up..He is over the top.
Salma Hayek as Pina Auriemma a fortune teller. Yes a fortune teller has a big say in this. I told you OVER THE TOP. She almost becomes the puppet master over Patrizia.
No spoilers here...but if you are looking for a happy ending do not come here. This is a shit show of family power like Dynasty. Who gets majority control over Gucci!! You cannot take your eyes off of it..it is trashy yet enjoyable.
3 out of 5 stars for House Of Gucci. A bit long, could have been edited for sure. Still Lady Gaga may get an Oscar Nod here.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
