House of Gucci is inspired by the shocking true story of the family empire behind the Italian fashion house of Gucci.
Starring Lady Gaga, Al Pacino, Jared Leto and Adam Driver, this Ridley Scott film inspired by the true story of the Gucci family will both shock and thrill viewers.
Spanning three decades of love, betrayal, revenge, and ultimately murder, this film aims to show “what a name means, what it’s worth, and how far a family will go for control.”
Lady Gaga, having already proved her acting credentials in ‘A Star is Born’ is back in a role she was made for playing; the Italian socialite Patrizia Reggiani who married Maurizio Gucci in 1972 and fought for decades for the control of the Gucci brand.
Her wealth-driven ambition and decadent dress sense earned her the title Lady Gucci. Reggiani famously spent £9000 a month on orchids and was quoted as saying, “I would rather weep in a Rolls-Royce than be happy on a bicycle.”
Adam Driver stars as her wronged husband Maurizio, while Jared Leto is barely unrecognisable in a fat body suit and prosthetics as Paolo Gucci. Al Pacino is sensational in his role as Aldo Gucci.
This is a fantastic film for fashion aficionados with three decades of Gucci fashion showcased throughout the film it is a true theatrical, fashion masterpiece.
The Universal/MGM film in scheduled for release on November 24th.
