Mrs. Bellucci movies—(1): AGENTS SECRETS, Bellucci--exploitation
2 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
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 profile—shots, angles to exploit her sensational beauty …. Her appeal's gist is that she looks almost involuntarily sexy—explosively, _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. ) Action—wise, and suspense—wise, i.e., thriller—wise, there's a lot of junk and dead ,tern footage. Here, Cassel is like a third—hand 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 talk—show (with Ciorbea !) was better.

AGENTS SECRETS is rather _dullish. As for Mrs. Bellucci and the physical roles—might it be that, despite all fitness, this is the timeless Italian construction?
