Gucci family also disappointed by House Of Gucci - The A.V. Club

The Gucci family is joining other moviegoers who were disappointed by the latest crime epic from Ridley Scott, House Of Gucci.

In a letter published by the Italian news agency ASNA and translated by Variety, the Guccis take issue with the film’s depiction of Aldo Gucci, played by Al Pacino in the movie, and “the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them.”.

“Over the course of its 70-year history, during which it was a family business, Gucci was an inclusive company,” the letter states.

Even more objectionable is the reconstruction that becomes mystifying almost to the point of paradox when gets to the point of suggesting an indulgent tone towards a woman who, definitively convicted of having been the instigator of the murder of Maurizio Gucci, is painted not only in the film, but also in the statements made by cast members, as a victim who was trying to survive in a masculine and macho corporate culture.

After being criticized by the real Patrizia Gucci for “stealing the identity of a family to make a profit,” Scott expressed his disinterest in dealing with the family.
