Her Gothic appearances are enjoyable, but we would look beyond the elaborate costumes to the European films that ask more of her. In *Beetlejuice Beetlejuice* (2024), Monica Bellucci’s Delores wears a scarlet body-stocking held together with staples. We were amused by Colleen Atwood’s conspicuous fastenings, which make an already lurid outfit pleasingly absurd. It is familiar casting for an actor repeatedly chosen for sensuality and body language. Bellucci’s ability to suggest intensity without much dialogue deserves at least as much attention as the clothes, particularly when those clothes are doing so much to introduce her. Her international film debut, *Bram Stoker’s Dracula* (1992), offers an earlier version of that Gothic setting. She plays one of Dracula’s brides in Francis Ford Coppola’s richly enjoyable romance, where the acting is uneven and the pace sometimes drags. Gary Oldman’s conviction keeps the costumes and effects from taking over entirely. We recommend it with those reservations, but a bride’s part in this elaborate production is a narrow basis on which to judge Bellucci. Her French breakthrough in 1996 was followed by wider recognition with *Malèna* (2000) and *Irréversible* (2002). In *Malèna*, her intensity with minimal dialogue gives a clearer sense of what her physical acting can achieve. *Irréversible* makes more explicit physical demands, and her performance deserves consideration separately from the objections to the film’s violence and structure. Playing Persephone in *The Matrix Reloaded* and *The Matrix Revolutions* (both 2003) brought franchise work alongside the European arthouse roles. The movement across languages and between intimate dramas and international productions makes it difficult to reduce her work to a single type of part. Tim Burton’s *Beetlejuice Beetlejuice* brings us back to the pleasures and limits of her ornate genre appearances. Atwood gives Delores a memorable outfit, while cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos lights the afterlife with flat fluorescent tubes, making its dead occupants look faintly seasick. These are enjoyable choices, but they cannot simplify a script trying to accommodate five plots, and the fun comes in bursts. For a fuller sense of what Bellucci can convey without much dialogue, try *Malèna*. ## Biography Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress.
