Monica Bellucci character - likable?


The film is of course ultra-realistic in the sense that the characters are really PEOPLE. No heroes or villains. Having said that... was THE scene that difficult to watch? She does come across as arrogant and vain.

I think she was a likable character, a woman with flaws and nice qualities both.
The rape scene is horrendous and I don't believe it's supposed to be arousing at all. Me, as a woman, could only watch it once, I have to keep my eyes shut when I see the film. Everytime.

I didn't find her likeable either but she definitely did not deserve what happened to her.

I found her to be very likeable, but then, I'm a guy, so I found THAT scene to be highly arousing!

Very likeable
