The Italian actress Monica Bellucci is loved in our country. They also love films with her participation. This Italian film star attracts the eye with her charming appearance and figure. In any film in which she appears, the entire plot immediately switches to Monica, even if she has a minor role.
Getting acquainted with the filmography of Monica Bellucci should be done slowly and carefully. I recommend checking out these five films first.
Malena, 2000
Melodrama, the events of which take place during the Second World War.
The main character of the film is a young woman Malena (played by Monica Bellucci). Malena lost her husband, who died in the war. But in her small Sicilian town she is the object of attention of many men and teenagers.
Women sincerely envy her, and Malena herself is trying to improve her personal life. Any step a woman takes becomes the object of rumors and gossip, as this is already a kind of city tradition.
As a result, Malena cannot stand it and derails her life.
And then it suddenly turns out that Malena’s husband did not die at all.
How Much Are You Worth, 2005
French drama with comedy elements. The main character is an ordinary French employee named Francois (Bernard Campan). He meets a girl, Daniela (Monica Bellucci), and tells her that he won 4 million euros in the lottery, and therefore he promises to pay her 100 thousand euros a month so that only she can spend time with him.
And then events begin, from the category of “black humor”, in which Franus’s attending physician named Andre (Jean Pierre Darroussin) and Danielle’s close friend Charlie (Gerard Depardieu) participate.
In the end, it turns out that Daniela was not at all indifferent to Francois.
Apartment, 1996
A young and successful businessman, Max has a great desire to settle in Paris, after a long stay in New York.
By chance, in a restaurant, he saw Lisa, a girl with whom he was in love, but with whom he broke up under very strange circumstances.
Amused about his plans, Max asks his friend to follow Lisa to find out how she disappeared then. The search leads Max to an apartment where he finds a girl who looks like his missing girlfriend.
Max spends the night in the apartment and is surprised to discover that both girls suddenly begin to merge in his mind into a single whole.
Brothers Grimm, 2005
And in this film Monica Bellucci did not play the main role. She played the mirror queen.
The film itself is a kind of fictional story from the life of the famous Brothers Grimm. The plot of the film is based on the dark fairy tales known by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
For its time it was a good horror film with elements of humor.
First, we see how the brothers are engaged in elementary fraud, freeing the people from the “evil spirits” that they themselves have created. But in the end they will have to face the real “evil spirits” and the “enchanted forest”.
But the most important thing is that you need to somehow defeat the mirror queen, who is the culprit of all the troubles.
Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, 2002
French comedy in which Monica Bellucci played the role of Cleopatra.
The plot revolves around the fact that Cleopatra made a bet with Julius Caesar that her subjects could build a golden palace. For this, the architect Numerobis is hired, who calls his friend the druid Panoramix for help. Well, Asterix and Obelix accompany the old man to Egypt.
Only Julius Caesar does not want to lose the bet, and therefore arranges various intrigues.
Unlike all other films with the participation of Monica Bellucci, this film can be watched by the whole family.
