This is a truly magnificent film. Lady Gaga's performance was utterly flawless as were the performances of every other leading cast member. Al Pacino in particular was amazing. The music throughout is so much fun to listen to and was always appropriate to the scene. The film is drenched in opulence, luxury, wealth and beauty and the shots filmed in Italy are simply breathtaking. A fantastic piece of cinematic joy but also a great insight into the turbulent family history of the Gucci empire.

This is simply a magnificent book and a book that should be read by everyone. This is, by far, the most outstanding book I have ever read on the Holocaust but it is so much more than that. Some of the descriptions are emotionally challenging, whilst others (Minka's secret collection of other people's photographs, whom she has never met and never will because they've been gassed) leaves you quietly sobbing. This book has been so delicately crafted and magnificently executed that arriving at the last page left me feeling bereft but so utterly grateful for the life I've had. Thank you so much Jodi. xx
