Film plot and background
Biopic starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver about the family saga of the Italian fashion house Gucci and its owners.
Love, deceit, decadence, revenge and finally murder: the family saga of fashion house Gucci is riddled with several scandals. Patricia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), who marries Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), the future head of the Gucci fashion empire, in 1973, is caught in the middle of this story that spans 30 years. They live the high life and have a few legal disputes with other Gucci family members, such as Maurizio’s uncle Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino), who is fighting for supremacy in the company after the death of the head of the family Rodolfo Gucci (Jeremy Irons).
It all comes down to Patricia divorcing Maurizio, who nearly bankrupts the fashion company and is finally murdered by a contract killer in the street on 27 March 1995. Two years later, Patricia Reggiani is sent to prison for ordering the murder.

“House of Gucci” – background, cast, cinema release
Director Ridley Scott (“Gladiator”) has wanted to adapt the Gucci family saga for the big screen since 2006. The script was based on the non-fiction book “The House of Gucci” by Sara Gay Forden, which, according to family members of the Gucci clan, had some inconsistencies.
Many attempts to adapt the film for the screen later and after changing stars and directors associated with the project, the original version finally manifested itself in 2020. The main roles are played by Oscar winner Lady Gaga (“A Star is Born”) and Oscar nominee Adam Driver (“Marriage Story”). But the rest of the cast also reads like a who’s who in Hollywood: Jared Leto (“Dallas Buyers Club”), Jeremy Irons (“Lolita”), Al Pacino (“The Godfather”) and Salma Hayek (“Eternals”) will embody the Gucci family saga with their performances.
Filming did not take place until 2021 in Italy and the Alps and was completed in May. The biopic by Ridley Scott will be released in German cinemas in the same year. The theatrical release of “House of Gucci” is on 2 December 2021.
