CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review on “House of Gucci,” an epic family story about the famous fashion brand, directed by Ridley Scott and featuring Lady Gaga, Adam Driver and Al Pacino, opening in theaters on November 24th, 2021.
Lady Gaga portrays Patrizia Reggiani, a lower class Fellini-esque woman who marries Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), part of the famous fashion empire called Gucci. The brand is still managed by the older generation, here represented by Rodolfo Gucci (Jeremy Irons) and his brother Aldo (Al Pacino). When the marriage of Patrizia and Maurizio starts to falter and split, the scorned Gucci wife enlists the aid of her psychic (Salma Hayek) to plot her revenge.
