Mrs. Bellucci movies(1): AGENTS SECRETS, Bellucci--exploitation
If you want an usual, regular, conventional spy thriller, like other spy thrillers, AGENTS SECRETS is worth a try.A couple of secret agents, Mrs. Bellucci and Cassel (wife and husband in real life), are sent in Morocco to stop a cargo who transported weapons to Angola. The plan looks fairly simple. Cassel looks like a stud, and has a very French look too.
On the other hand, there's little action and suspense; Mrs. Bellucci is filmed quite much, and we get rather a lot of profileshots, angles to exploit her sensational beauty . Her appeal's gist is that she looks almost involuntarily sexyexplosively, _orgasmicly sexy. (In the movie, a hoodlum says about a girl that you reach orgasm only by looking at her; this might be even truer about Mrs. Bellucci. ) Actionwise, and suspensewise, i.e., thrillerwise, there's a lot of junk and dead ,tern footage. Here, Cassel is like a thirdhand Delon impersonator. The action is lukewarm and _slowish.
I am of the opinion that Mrs. Bellucci, like Mrs. Sandrelli, is not an actress for action roles; her glamor is essentially homely, intimate, and, moreover, _interiorized, not a Bond girl.
A political talkshow (with Ciorbea !) was better.
AGENTS SECRETS is rather _dullish. As for Mrs. Bellucci and the physical rolesmight it be that, despite all fitness, this is the timeless Italian construction?
