Gucci fashion has made many appearances in Hollywood, both in movies and on the red carpet. The actual story of Gucci is worthy of a movie of its own, and it finally got one in House of Gucci.
Ridley Scott directs the tale of how Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) fell in love with Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga). Maurizio’s father Rodolfo (Jeremy Irons) does not not wish them to get married — he fears she’s after their wealth. Maurizio has little interest in the company himself, as he wants to be a lawyer.
They do get married, and Patrizia helps Maurizio’s uncle Aldo (Al Pacino) convince him to choose the family business over law. Together, Patrizia and Maurizio take over the Gucci empire, manipulating Maurizio’s cousin Paolo (Jared Leto). If you follow fashion and read the news, you know this story does not end well for Maurizio or Patrizia.
Becky Johnson and Roberto Bentivegna adapted Sara Gay Forden’s book The House of Gucci which Scott’s company, Scott Free, optioned shortly after its publication in 2001. Producer Kevin Walsh said it was Scott’s wife, Giannina, who is also a producer, who brought the book to his attention.
Walsh credited Bentivegna with additional research, adding the “character dynamics and relationships” to the history. The film traces the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s of Gucci family drama. Bentivegna used the book, hundreds of articles written about Gucci, and court records from Reggiani’s trial.
MGM/United Artists Releasing opened House of Gucci on November 24 in time for the holiday movie season. An actors showcase, the SAG Awards nominated the ensemble and singled out Gaga and Leto. Gaga also earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role, and she and Leto also both earned Critics Choice Awards nominations. Critics

When Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino reached his milestone 50th birthday, he decided the occasion was ripe with the potential to break away from many of the enduring ways he made distinctive, much lauded projects (including Academy Award winner The Great Beauty, Youth, Il Divo, The Consequences of Love and The Young Pope) and experiment with new cinematic and storytelling techniques. And for his next film, The Hand of God, he decided to plumb the depths of his own past as well.
Director Ridley Scott is coming off an impressive run in 2021, with both “The Last Duel” and “House of Gucci” receiving awards buzz.

This shimmering wisp of a drama — in theaters and on VOD this Friday — offers a breezy pre-pandemic portrait of the city, following an author who wanders its crowded sidewalks and falls in with its young minds after inexplicably losing her memory. As hazily directed and ever so slightly written by Adam Leon (“Gimme the Loot,” “Tramps”), “Italian Studies” is less about solving the mystery of Alina’s sudden amnesia than asking how her surroundings might fill the wiped-clean slate of her identity in with vivid details (read our review here).
John Mayer and Jeff Ross emotionally remembered their late friend Bob Saget while continuing to look out for him and his family in the wake of his death.
Ridley Scott sure does enjoy his existential sci-fi, huh? From his early days with “Blade Runner” and then in his polarizing ‘Alien’ prequels, it’s clear Scott has a love of trying to use sci-fi to explain humanity and its origins.
