This article presents information on the actress Liv Tyler and the movie Stealing Beauty directed by Bernardo Bertolucci. Stealing Beauty tells an old-fashioned story of a virgin testing her suitors, a girl pausing on the lip of womanhood, an artlessly vital American pollinating a garden of European aesthetes. Questions asked, cups tasted, flesh stung: the iconography should be intelligible enough, though each viewer, having rented a throne of judgment, will have to rule on whether the Bertolucci has given these images the force of archetype, or merely of cliche.
