Malena is a classic, and Irreversible is a pretty strange but interesting movie where Monica plays a pretty tough role. She's a victim of rape follows by a murder in that movie. Even if it's just acting for a movie, I doubt she'd be able to pull off that scene as well as she did if she was as poor of an actress as people claim she is. There's a bit of a stigma against Monica for being a pretty face who's acted in some mediocre movies where her naked body was the only thing worth watching.

I've never actually understood her success. She's beautiful, sure, but there are way more fascinating women out there. In Italy, especially in the past, you could hear her called "the most beautiful woman of Italy/the world" a lot. I don't know, maybe she's not my type but I've never felt attracted to her. Her acting? Let's just not talk about that, she's an horrible actress. That said, I agree on Irreversible, it's a very strange but interesting movie. I remember watching it at the theatre at 16 even if the movie was x-rated (you had to be 18 or more to be allowed to enter). I remember being quite shocked by that scene in the tunnel were a man is beaten in the face with a fire extinguisher
