Synopsis

Stealing Beauty (1996) is Bernardo Bertolucci's coming-of-age drama, and you can watch online on iFILM. Nineteen-year-old American Lucy Harmon spends a summer in Tuscany at the villa of old family friends. It marked Liv Tyler's first lead role.

Lucy's mother, a poet, recently took her own life, leaving behind a cryptic diary entry about a father Lucy never knew. Between olive groves and long lunches with the villa's artists and houseguests, she goes looking for answers — and for the Italian boy who gave her a first kiss four years earlier. Jeremy Irons plays an ailing playwright counting his last weeks, while the guests circle each other with secrets of their own.

Bertolucci shoots the Tuscan landscape until it becomes a character in itself, with cinematographer Darius Khondji catching the light on skin and hillside. The cast includes Joseph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz and Stefania Sandrelli. Stream Stealing Beauty (1996) online on iFILM.
