My Review/
Preview: This film makes me wonder why Liv Tyler
didn't stick with Aerosmith videos. She has such
a lack for acting, her name on the poster is a
sorry sight.
We have American Lucy (Liv Tyler) goes to Italy
so that an old friend can carve her image in
wood. Now that's a reason to fly to Europe. Every
single male in the movie wants Lucy sexually
because she has such an "innocent" look
(they say), beginning with the dying man next
door played by Jeromy Irons. The actual story
backs everything up, the acting and directing
thows it all in the toilet. In the story, she is
an 18 year-old virgin. Writer/Director Bernardo
Bertolucci simply was not able to
"show" us her virginity. Instead, we
see Lucy as a young woman with a wardrobe that
consists of "low-cut" and "very
revealing."
These irritiating contradictions of story and
film are a dime a dozen in Stealing and
that's in addtion to the excessivly poor acting
(other than the charming work by Joseph Fiennes)
and of course, enough untied ends to set a group
of boy scouts back for days. |
