When 19-year-old Lucy Harmon (Liv Tyler) arrives in Tuscany, wondering about her mother (a recent suicide) and still nursing a crush on Niccolo, the local playboy she met on a...
more...visit four years earlier, everyone sits up and takes notice--especially director Bernardo Bertolucci, who trains his camera on the ingenue with understandable enthusiasm. The Graysons, who own the artists' colony and villa where Lucy's mother once wrote poetry, take the young girl in, and their guests enjoy the infusion of youth. Perhaps most deeply affected is Alex Parrish (Jeremy Irons), a terminally ill writer who finds Lucy charming and vital. Before such attentions, Lucy's interest in Niccolo quickly fades, replaced by an unexpected mystery regarding the identity of her father and a possible new love. And in a further attempt to understand her mother, Lucy writes light little poems as well. (Bertolucci has her words appear on the screen as she scribbles.) In fact, everything seems light in lush and lovely Tuscany, which provides a gorgeous setting for the gifted ensemble to play out their intrigues.

Review of Stealing Beauty DVD by Orinoco

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Liv Tyler plays Lucy, a nineteen-year-old girl who decides to go to Italy to try and sort out her life following her mother’s suicide. Lucy wants to meet the boy she kissed in Italy four years ago who wrote to her for a while. She has also read her mother’s diary and is determined to finally solve the mystery of who her father really is. The film is beautifully shot and the acting is very good. The story wasn’t particularly strong but I still think ... Read review
