Stealing Beauty (1996)
Medium level sex scenes, medium level coarse language, drug use
Renowned Academy Award winning director Bernardo Bertolucci (The Last Emperor) explores one girl's personal journey into womanhood in this lushly filmed romantic adventure starring Liv Tyler and Jeremy Irons.
When beautiful 19-year old Lucy (Tyler) arrives in Italy to spend the summer with her late mother's bohemian friends, she's determined to fulfill two dreams. The first, to consumate her romance with the Italian boy she fell in love with four years earlier, and the second, to discover the identity of her father through clues in her mother's diary.

I agree: so pretentious; psychologicaly not very believable plot, poor acting of some characters, overall very disappointing, I expected so much more from a combination of famous actors and famous director... I give it two stars only (and that is for the Tuscan landscape plus the background music which is nice (including Mozart and also an interesting selection of more contemporary music)). But as for all the rest: forget it!

Absolutely pathetic and meaningless. Pretentious twaddle about the "beautiful" artistic people leading the "beautiful" life in Tuscany where lasciviousness, drugs and inane conversation are held out as being something we should all admire and envy. No plot, poor characters. Forget it!

I loved it- beautiful Tuscan scenery with gorgeous people to look at (Jeremy irons and Liv Tyler! Plenty of sensuality and lust with a happy ending.

enjoyed this film. Film in style of Ozon's "Swimming pool" but with more characters.

Bit of a mess narratively but beautiful to look at.

Tuscany is a beautiful backdrop to anything, and the countryside is as much a character in this as anyone else is. The soundtrack is exquisite and possibly the highpoint of the film. The film is extraordinarily captivating for such a small story.

A great cast, but not much of a story.
