Films in November:

The Haus of Gaga has officially collided with the House of Gucci: Lady Gaga ignited our giddiness for her upcoming crime biopic by sharing her official character poster on Instagram this week. The trailer has also been released, giving us our first live-action glimpse at the fashionable film (watch above).

The Oscar-winner will play Italian socialite and former Gucci chief adviser Patrizia Reggiani, who was sentenced to 29 years in prison for plotting the assassination of her former husband, heir to the Gucci fashion empire Mauricio Gucci, in 1995.

Ridley Scott's film is adapted from Sara G Forden's widely acclaimed non-fiction book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed (2001), which examines the ascent, collapse and resurrection of the Gucci dynasty following Maurizio Gucci's murder. It went behind the scenes of the trial to explore Reggiani's motives for the execution-style murder, and whether she was in fact guilty.

The trial exploded like a real-life soap opera, captivating the country with scandalous tales of infidelity, extraordinary wealth, vengeance, designer footwear and a certified psychic-turned-accomplice. Reggiani was maligned by an arguably misogynistic press who dubbed her 'Vedova Nera', the Black Widow, and painted her as a bitter, greedy, scorned woman who acted out of revenge and spite.
