The film was released in November and stars Lady Gaga and Adam Driver. It is based on a real life event.
House of Gucci, the thriller directed by Ridley Scott, and based on the murder of Gucci founder Maurizio Gucci’s grandson (Adam Driver), by order of Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), although it managed to become the third highest grossing film in the United States, on opening weekend, with a collection of 22 million dollars according to the newspaper published Chicago Tribune, It has aroused the discontent of the Gucci family. Criticism of the family dynasty has apparently been given by the cast and the alleged lack of transparency from the filmmakers.
Shortly after the premiere, some members of the family issued a statement to express their dissatisfaction with the film, which they classified as “extremely painful from the human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand stands today” .
The document states that the production did not consult with the heirs before representing Aldo Gucci, president of the company for 30 years, and family members as bullies and insensitive to the world around them.
“We are frankly disappointed. I speak on behalf of the whole family. They are stealing the identity of a family to profit, to increase the income of the Hollywood system … our family has an identity, a privacy. We can talk about anything. But there are lines that cannot be crossed ”, assured Patrizia Gucci, second press of Maurizio.
Patrizia Gucci, author of the biography of her family and daughter of Paolo Gucci, assured: “In the family we are sure that the film will have errors and inaccuracies that have nothing to do with the historical truth”, in statements published by local media . He added: “As far as we know, it will be done by buying the rights to a book by a British journalist, a job that we consider absolutely baseless. Neither Ridley Scott nor anyone else has warned us and we are sorry ”.
Criticisms even come from Reggiani herself, released since 2017. “She is very upset because dozens of production trucks have invaded Milan and she does not know anything or have contacted her,” she told Telelombardia his lawyer, Daniele Pizzi. She also reproaches that Lady Gaga did not want to meet with her to prepare the character.
Tom Ford, a designer who worked for the firm for four years and who appears in the film represented by actor Reeve Carney, He said: “In many moments I laughed out loud, but was that supposed to happen? After seeing The Gucci house I was deeply sad for several days, something that I think will happen to those of us who knew those protagonists and those events. It was difficult for me to see the humor and the camp tone from something that was so bloody “, reviews a publication of The National on their website. (I)
