The Gucci family is notoriously dysfunctional. A few days ago, on the eve of the Venice Film Festival, members of the fashion dynasty expressed alarm over reported plans by director Martin Scorsese to make a movie about the tempestuous history of the family, ending in Maurizio’s murder.

"It's deja vu all over again!" 

The Daily Beast, 11/29/2021
“Gucci is a family that lives honoring the work of its ancestors, whose memory does not deserve to be disturbed to stage a spectacle that is untrue, and which does not do justice to its protagonists,” the statement added. “The members of the Gucci family reserves every right to protect the name, image and the dignity of their loved ones.”


Who will tell the Guccis that "dignity" is not a word that belongs in their vocabulary?
