A simple wig can perform miracles of alienation, and it is this outward transformation that beautiful actresses – just think of Charlize Theron or Nicole Kidman – often bring in prizes: because you don't recognize m. In case of Penélope Cruz it is a weißblond bleached mane, tamed according to all rules of Coiffeurskunst and preserved from impending strawness. This hairstyle is more than a hairstyle, namely a insignia – hallmark of Donatella Versace. The chief designer and estate manager of Versace Empire combines traditional with current dresses of her house, who want to accomplish feat, despite great material poverty and waist-deep cutouts women a self-confident appearance to Give.
So what you have to wear, including typical bondage belt around breasts and giant safety pins on flank. That's why it fits grandiosely that Almodóvar films sombre Penélope Cruz now embodies Donatella in ten-part series The assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. However, one can imagine that Gianni Versace's life partner, Antonio D ', is embodied by singer Ricky Martin, who knows how to put himself in dark blue pool with white swimwear.
But here it should not be superficially about Dolce Vita, not about cultivated undernourished Greek-Roman delusion of magnitude in House of Versace, which is always a glaring contrast to noble restraint of or Italian fashion label. On contrary. With Donatellas petrified, crying face – as hard as Medusa, which adorns all Versace design – The narrative begins: The assassination of Gianni Versace is about background of murder of Italian designer. Versace was shot on July 15, 1997 on steps of his mansion in Miami Beach, by serial killer Andrew Phillip Cunanan. Cunanan, who had killed a total of five people with some sadistic brutality, shot himself a week later, before police could grasp him.
TV-» The assassination of Gianni Versace «(trailer) © Photo: SkyRyan Murphy, creator and producer of assassination of Gianni Versace, narrates this second part of his anthology series ( first was award-winning justice drama The People v. O. J. Simpson) not chronologically, because end is known indeed. He never keeps up with golden splendour of fashion world, silky velvety welt in which butler stands still in morning between marble statues until Versace takes freshly squeezed juice from silver platter.
Instead, it goes abruptly back to early nineties, to places that don't look like ideal illuminated interior range in glossy magazine: Greasy motel room with heroin leftovers on bedside table. This sometimes seems to be filmed under shortness of breath, but series only opens its mosaic-like narrative perspective, which also functions as an association for laborious investigative work in case of Cunanan: for example, in course of individual episodes to its Former victims, who in official reading of case are initially nameless and without ir own history.
You just have to be greedy enoughThe temporal hopping in nineties, in turn, also seems to correspond to Andrew Cunanans Nature, who, after aborted studies, staged as a stockbroker, sometimes as a hippie, sometimes as a Navy lieutenant, sometimes as a cultivated fashionista – as situation just Required to make profit from it. Darren Criss (Glee) succeeds in not letting a smile work naturally, it solidifies brutally, as well as being not exactly looking at it for a moment. Everything is calculus into smallest gesture, driven by a thirst for revenge towards those who lead a pleasant life. On Cunanan, focus of this series, on his mastery, is always to give nice boy next door just long enough. It is Versace story, which is basically turned into a criminal, which tells of divine ascent of son of a poor Calabrian dressmaker and thus spreads a seductive simple message: that you only have to grasp greedy enough for what you Desires.
