Gucci family publicly criticizes Lei's new film "Gucci Family"

Recently, the Gucci family criticized Ridley Scott's latest film "Gucci" in an open letter published by the Italian news agency ANSA. The Gucci family members were very dissatisfied with the way director Ridley Scott presented their family ancestors, and pointed out that Scott did not tell them how the film would portray the characters of the Gucci family.

The Gucci family members came to the final conclusion that the image of their relatives was seriously distorted and the film could not be called a "true story adaptation" as described. The Gucci family said that the film's protagonist Maurizio Gucci's wife Patrizia Gucci was portrayed as a victim of the "male corporate culture" in the fashion industry. But according to Gucci, this statement is not correct. In the 1980s, female employees were already senior managers of the company and they were not discriminated against.

The movie "Gucci Family" revolves around the story of Maurizio Gucci, the third-generation successor of the fashion brand Gucci. Maurizio is the grandson of Gucci's founder Guccio Gucci. In 1995, he was shot dead on the stairs of his Milan office by a young man from Sicily. His wife Patrizia Gucci was sentenced to 29 years in prison for planning the murder of her husband.
