Stealing Beauty Movie Delicate, Lyrical Liv Tyler Jeremy Irons Bernardo Bertolucci, Delicately Eccentric, Visually Beautiful. On top of a hill in Siena, Tuscany, a group of aesthetes gather to spend the summer days. Art, music, cuisine, goodness and nature are the enjoyments of this idyll, but also work; "Work - the great tradition of art in these hills!" declares the resident sculptor, whose figures grace the lawn, "It's not my best piece, but it's the one they'll remember me for," says the writer among the group. After the death of her mother, a free-spirited poet who visited these Italian hills 20 years ago, Lucy (Liv Tyler), who also writes poetry, returned to an artist's home in the hills of Siena, Tuscany, with two things in mind : discover the identity of her real father, and she wants to lose her virginity, her sexual awakening, she is 19 years old. The village is occupied by a sculptor (Final McCann), who carves Lucy out of a wooden log, outlining her chin. His kind wife (Sinead Cusack) is tired after 20 years of cooking and housekeeping for an ongoing party at home. The most interesting guest is a playwright (Jeremy Irons), who is in poor health and attracts Lucy because he's not after her and tells Lucy, "Who's the lucky one?" Other guests are an art dealer (Jean Marais), an advice columnist (Stefania Sandrelli), a jewelry designer (Miranda Fox), an entertainment lawyer (DW Moffett) who sighs: "I think it would be great, you know, to be seated all day and express yourself". And neighbors show up, including several young men, one of whom may have sent Lucy a letter she considers romantic and poetic. Each one, cultural adventurer, enjoying the wonders of Italy. There is a discontent in the village, an unhappiness that everyone has in relation to their destiny in life. Lucy's arrival is new and fresh for everyone! But there is a purpose! It is acting as a muse, a catalyst shaking old patterns and forcing these exiles to decide and make reflection and change about their lives. She represents a kind of ideal of perfect virgin beauty. The extremely intense and attractive style, the visually extraordinary Bernardo Bertolucci's taste for exoticism, extends throughout the entire film, the entire film is dreamlike. It's an important story of a personal journey, something very delicate and lyrical. It deals with three major themes: sexuality, sexual initiation, family, finding your paternal origin and art, the painful and difficult mysteries of the artistic process. The soundtrack is composed of classical music, rock, blues and soul, combined with the walking, resting and dancing movements of the characters, the result is totally intoxicating. There is a wonderful feeling of lightness in the delicate and eccentric air. Making us delight together with the characters.
