Summary: This is at the top of my all time favorites.
Review: Like the reviewer said, you'll want to book a flight to Tuscany immediatly. This movie is amazing. The film is facinating and well-rounded. It has the feel of a foreign film,(which may be why there were mixed reviews by American critics,) but there are no subtitles to keep a constant eye on. I would love to take up residence in just about any of the character's shoes. I have almost worn out my VHS version and I'll be getting the DVD soon. I can guarantee that anyone with even the slightest love of intellectualism and romanticism will be greatly impressed by this film.

Summary: Deserving of a home in the film connoisseur's collection
Review: "Stealing Beauty" is a new look at a classic coming of age story. Lucy's search to find her biological father is not so much a need to find her roots but to discover that missing part of herself - a hole that prevents her from being able to give of herself to another. This movie may begin with Lucy looking for that missing piece of her identity, but ends with the realities of love and sex for a generation that deals with the disease. The metaphor of the plot, the beauty of Italy, the brilliance of the actors, innocent passion, in every way this movie satisfies the senses.

Summary: The Best Liv Tyler Performance!
Review: This breakout performance of Liv Tyler is by far her greatest work. Under the lush scenes of Italy, a young woman/girl, Lucy, comes looking to solve the mystery her mother left behind. Who is her natural father? Her mother left the clues in the poetry she wrote, and Lucy investigates the villa of a family friend to find her answer. While she searches, Lucy affects all those around her at the villa. While discovering the mystery of her past, the discovers the mysteries of her present. This is an excellent coming of age story.

Summary: Stealing Beauty DVD
Review: Excellent film if you ask me. I love artistic movies, and this is definitely a feast for your eyes. I love it when I am involved in a story, and I feel like I am walking beside the main character throughout, and this film achieves that feeling. Basic stuff inside though, young person coming of age, albeit a worldly female, it's still basically a coming of age film.

Summary: Stealing audience
Review: I watched this movie on TV and was again fooled by a crafty commercial. Irons + Bertolucci => 5 stars movies? Hardly! Liv Tyler seems to have been erected out of cartoonish characters and her's acting abilities are not a single inch more valueable. On the other hand she's has a particular beauty which should itself be appreciated. Irons is as usually brilliant and Weiss proves beyond doubt she was grossly undercasted in that unspeakable cheap stupidity known as "The Mummy". The scences of her having sex are in fact one of the most exciting i've seen recorded. It is raw sex beyond hypocrisy and pornography. Scenery is glorious, but keep in mind they further reinstate the bucolic image of peasant Italy which has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with reality. Anyone who visited Italy's countriside must have been a fool not observe the portruding industrialization and modernization present even in the most remotened region high on the mountains. One more thing: the presence of despiteful Rock "music" into its soundtrack automatically downgraded the movie from an overall 4/5 to a mediocre 3/5 stars...

Summary: Something missing.... yet a fine movie to watch
Review: "Stealing Beauty" could be considered a breakthrough for both Liv Tyler and Rachel Weisz. Not only it helped Tyler shake off her failure in previous films ("Heavy" and "Silent Fall"), it gave her and Weisz a good leverage to box office hits thereafter (like "The Mummy" and "Lord of the Rings"). So Bernardo Bertolucci deserved all the credit here. In fact, the cast and cinematography were quite enjoyable. However, when it came to Bertolucci's portrayal of life through the eyes of artists (and people connected with them in one way or another), I couldn't help thinking of Federico Fellini. I believe Bertolucci is almost as good as Fellini, just one small step short. After watching "Stealing Beauty", I logged on to search for "La Dolce Vita" and pre-ordered the DVD right away. If you want to figure out what's missing in Bertolucci's artwork, I strongly recommend you to do the same.

Summary: Lack of Subtitles = Disappointing DVD
Review: Wonderful film - which is the reason I purchased it on DVD. However, there is a major flaw in the DVD... at least as far as the English speaking audience is concerned. A significant amount of the dialogue is in Italian. The English subtitles only appear when the dialogue is in - you guessed it - English!
Not a lot of help.
And for the Spanish speaking audience, the Italian dialogue is subtitled, but none of the English...
Is this a design flaw or a defect in my DVD ? I don't know for sure but not being able to understand the language makes it difficult to enjoy the film. This is one of my favorite movies - the film itself deserves a great review, but the same cannot be said for this particular DVD.
