The film, directed by Ridley Scott, details the assassination of Maurizio Gucci (Driver) and the downfall of the Gucci family fashion dynasty. Gaga plays socialite Patrizia Reggiani, Maurizio's ex-wife who was tried and convicted of orchestrating his murder after he left her for a younger woman. She served 18 years in prison, where she gained the nickname Black Widow, before being released in 2016.
"I don't consider myself to be a particularly ethical person," says Gaga as Patrizia, "But I am fair." Blondie's Heart of Glass provides the soundtrack for the trailer. Gucci fashion shows, the couple's wedding and wild nights at the disco are also part of the drama leading up to the murder.
