I couldn't be bothered to read anything she has written at this stage but the things quoted here are just ridiculous. The whole Grande Belleza thing...I lived in Rome for years and, while I did like the film, I could not identify with it at all as it was nothing like the Rome I lived in or the people I socialised with. Not everyone's (most people's) experience of Rome/italy/anywhere else is upper class parties and the money to not have to work. Also her comments about the whole "prostituta" thing, the orgies etc... very much not the "I don't sleep around" image she now portrays.Agree @Denise0211 @Rina Valtellina KyLie is terribly pretentious and arrogant and has tickets on herself. As always, she is tone deaf to serious issues that donāt impact her own total self-involvement
Regarding the Grande Bellezza, I live in Rome but you donāt have to live there to understand or appreciate the film. I love the way KyLie says she doesnāt know if she should write about it as most people wonāt be able to relate to it (except exceptional people like her) but it actually ended up winning an Oscar for the Best Foreign Language film at the Academy awards, the following year. So obviously a lot of aloe non-Italian people that hadnāt been to the parties and were not upper class Romans etc could relate to it and see its brilliance (apart from her)
Kylie: āI think to an extent, people who are critical of all the filmās crazy dance-till-dawn parties and meaningless sex between people with too much time, botox and money, like to criticize it....as it unnerves others to think that theyāve lived in Rome for years and spend every night watching La Iene, going to bed at a reasonable hour and never receiving a single invitation to one of these exclusive orgies of art and hedonyā (unlike KYLie herself)
And more generally speaking, how could anyone ever say you cannot appreciate a film if you haven't had the lived experience?! personally I generally watch films/tv that aren't similar to my life as that is more interesting. ugh she is insufferable
