7 reasons to watch Amazon Prime Video's 'House of Gucci'
The film House of Gucci, based on the bestseller 'The House of Gucci': A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed', has been making all the right sounds ever since its premiere. Directed by Ridley Scott, the film stars Academy Award winner Lady Gaga and Academy Award nominee Adam Driver in the key roles.
It portrays the dark story behind the opulence of Gucci's famed fashion house, and centres on the assassination of Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), the house's heir, by his ex-wife, Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), in 1995, following their marriage over severe power struggles.
The film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, following its super blockbuster theatrical release, which has achieved the biggest box office opening performance for a drama picture in two years. The major reasons why the film is a must-watch are:
The movie is based on Sara Gay Forden's captivating novel of the same title, which is based on the real story of the family behind the Italian fashion company, Gucci. The movie illustrates the ups and downs of the Gucci enterprise, as well as the fact that no one from the movie is currently employed by the company. House of Gucci is a highly engaging movie, thanks to its star-studded cast, the craftsmanship in terms of the period in which the film is made, and the lovely locations of Italy, Switzerland, and New York.
Lady Gaga and Adam Driver appear in this film directed by Ridley Scott, and they steal every scene they're in. Apart from them, Oscar winner Jared Leto, who is unrecognisable in his costume, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, and Al Pacino are all excellent in their performances.

House Of Gucci brings you to a different era, which is mirrored not only in the costumes worn by the characters, but also in the diverse music used within the movie. The suspense is perfectly in line with the film's elegance and deception, with iconic tunes from the era interspersed with the action. The songs in the film are done by Donna Summer, George Michael, David Bowie, and Blondie, with none by Lady Gaga.
The dialogues definitely honour the film. "Gucci belongs in a museum, not a mall," says the brand's founder. It not only gives you the chills, but it also makes you want to see it again.
From superbly fitted suits and embroidered gowns to large diamonds and even bigger hair, the film is full of looks that are lavish. In the eagerly-awaited 'House of Gucci', which creates a web of glamour, deceit, and crime, being dressed to kill takes on a different aspect. The stylists deserve credit since the film is a delight to see in terms of style.
The stylists' remarkable effort was worth recognition. The number of hours spent detailing each actor's appearance led to an Oscar nomination as well.
So, how long are you going to wait? Don't miss out on this fantastic film, which is now available on Amazon Prime Video.
