Stealing Beauty
Synopsis
Following her mother's suicide, Lucy Harmon, 19, goes to Italy to stay with the Graysons, old friends of her late mother, and to have her portrait painted. She has a dual motive: she is eager to meet up again with the young and handsome Nicolo Donati, who gave her her first kiss four years earlier and to shed some light on a mysterious passage in her mother's diary. Lucy, full of innocence and curiosity, strikes a current of sensuality in the villa that causes upheaval for everyone there...

About
"I suppose you know that I've deliberately spent a long time in exile... more than ten years", states Bernardo Bertolucci, the "very" Italian director of such "very" Italian films as "The Conformist" and of course "1900". "I felt that I couldn't find inspiration in my own country; so I decided to go away as far as possible. And I ended up in China where I made "The Last Emperor"... Then, in the 1990's, I felt that things were changing in Italy. It may be naive of me but, whatever, I made my mind up : it was time to go home. And so "Stealing Beauty" tells of the beauty of Tuscany. It's the tale of a confrontation : that of different types of beauty : the beauty of the scenery, the beauty of art, the beauty of a young woman..." (...)".
