Lansky
In 1970s London, the creative and clever
Estella Miller (Emma Stone) is determined
to make it as a fashion designer – and, after
drawing the attention of fashion legend the
Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson),
eventually establishes a new identity as the
iconic Cruella de Vil.
FIVE FACTS:
- This is the second biopic about the famous
real-life gangster Meyer Lansky – after the late
1990s film Lansky, in which Richard Dreyfuss
plays the eponymous character. - Keitel previously portrayed another real-
life gangster, Mickey Cohen, in the 1991 film
Bugsy. - Lansky also appeared as a character
in Bugsy, on this occasion played by Ben
Kingsley. - Keitel was confirmed as the lead of the
new Lansky film in May 2019. - In a two-star review published by
RogerEbert.com, critic Glenn Kenny opined
that the new Lansky biopic “is for Keitel
completists only”.
