House of Gucci, Lady Gaga also taps into issues around class and gender that render her flawed character Patrizia Reggiani continually on the margins in that world of privileged men.
In an award-worthy performance, Gaga is both authentic as the working-class wife of Gucci heir Maurizio Gucci, on whom she was later convicted for ordering a hit.
And she also proves her mettle as an LGBTQ+ icon. As evidenced by a scene in the trailer, just two well-punctuated taps on an espresso cup with a spoon while low-key warning a female friend (Camille Cottin) of Maurizio’s to steer clear of her husband is queer camp to the core.The film from Ridley Scott stars Adam Driver as Maurizio, Pacino as his uncle Aldo Gucci, Jeremy Irons as Maurizio’s father,.
