Malèna (8/10) Movie CLIP - Malena's Makeover (2000) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Poor and widowed, Malena (Monica Bellucci) cuts her hair to make herself available to the men of the town.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
A young man's infatuation for a beautiful older woman blooms amidst the outbreak of World War II in this bittersweet comedy-drama from Italy. Renato (Giuseppe Sulfaro) is a 13-year-old boy growing up in a small Sicilian community. Mussolini has risen to power and has declared war upon England and France, but Renato has other things on his mind -- mostly girls. While hanging out with his friends by the seashore, Renato spies Malèna (Monica Bellucci), the daughter of one of his schoolteachers, whose husband Nino (Gaetano Aronica) is fighting with Mussolini's army. Renato is immediately obsessed with Malèna and follows her like a lost puppy, spying on her whenever circumstances permit and imagining her as his co-star in elaborate erotic fantasies inspired by his favorite movies. Renato, however, is hardly the only man in town to be struck by Malèna's charms, and her beauty leads to resentment from the women of the community. Malèna's circumstances take a turn for the worst after her husband is reported to have died in combat, and she is forced to resort to prostitution to survive; she is brutally attacked by a pack of angry matrons and driven from town. Renato tries to keep track of her, and has some less than encouraging news to report when Nino turns out to be alive and finds his spouse is missing. Malèna was written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, best known for the art-house hit Nuovo Cinema Paradiso; Malèna was released in Europe at 106 minutes, while the American version was edited by ten minutes to tighten the pace and remove nudity and sexual material considered too strong for the U.S. marketplace.

HIT US UP:

[dn]

she barely said anything in the entire movie, but her face says more than a thousand words

[ellainecabiles]

lmao there's the women on the street all jealous and speaking shit of her then there's that other woman sitting on the table eyeing her like

[melibeneli]

Ridicule the ugly, ignore the average and despise the beautiful. What a world we live in
Edit: stop arguing in the comments bro go comment somewhere else I don’t care about ur opinion 😐 I don’t have to debate my view point

[feenitacharles]

If she wore that today near any beach she would probably be the most formally dressed women

[frankinsaneandmyrrh]

This movie portrayed beauty as tragic and lonely like nothing I've ever seen.

[MsMissheartless]

There’s that woman checking her out thinking “damnnnn that’s mah gurl”

[arionbriyel]

her face explains it all... society is still the same...

don't care about the ugly but also shame the beauty

[Elyannia]

It makes me sad to see her touching her hair after cutting it, then crying when men offered to light her cigarette, it means that she was letting go or her old self, the "widow" and the daughter that lost her childhood in her hair, then dyed it red and letting others light a flame, it symbolizes the burning of her innocence and hope, this scene breaks my heart, more than shoes, dresses, scorn and sex, she needed kindness, Monica is a great actress, she delivered the metaphor.

[adueso]

2:03 is no one gonna talk about the tear forming in her eye?? She isn't doing this for attention or for fun, she's doing this because she needs to survive

[mbinyamasai]

This scene made me feel so bad for her. I felt that, when she sat, put the cigarette between her lips and teared up when the lighters came from different directions. Her face says, I give up. This is what you wanted, here is it.

[that_missing_link]

Great movie loved it but the women in those towns are so insecure, they ganged up on her because they were jealous of her beauty.

[andreaxuanzhao]

This scene is so sad. She experienced such a lot struggle and made such a movement. Monika is stunning. Very beautiful.

[IRealisticI]

I honestly wanted to cry for her. The objectification of women by men plus the bitchiness they also receive from fellow women is fucking unreal, this film captures that perfectly.

[ravnn_]

it always made me so sad how she barely ever said or did anything in the movie but people hated her. like she literally didn't do anything and the fact that people did hate her just said a lot on its own.

[JoleneGov]

Sometimes, the way women treat each other make me feel ashamed to even be one. You would think that after all that women had to go through, we would be more forgiving and kind toward each other, but nope. Human nature disgusts me.

[Mloofylicious]

Now that's what you call making an entrance.

[River-ywtr]

there are so many feelings and emotions in her eyes..

[aurorarockets]

She is stunning whatever hair she has but I have to say; Monica looks divine as a redhead! :)

[elisemariemel]

This scene made me feel so bad for her, losing everything, her dad, husband, money, and no proper food for her to eat. She was just resorting to using herself in the process just to survive. What a strong woman, I respect her for that.

[shortboypinoy]

I can definitely hear the influence that Hwasa got from the OST.
