The classic Italian beauty, 61, was first introduced to American audiences in 2000\u2019s\u00a0Under Suspicion.\u00a0She later gained notoriety as Persephone\u00a0in\u00a0The Matrix Reloaded\u00a0and\u00a0The Matrix Revolutions, and portrayed Mary Magdalene\u00a0in\u00a0The Passion of the Christ.

But in a near appearance on day five of the fourth Nouvelles Vagues International Biarritz Film Festival in Biarritz, France, the stunning star showed why she’s still so in demand.

Last summer,\u00a0Variety<\/a>\u00a0reported that Bellucci has an exciting job coming up.<\/p>\n

She stars as the matron of an aristocratic Sicilian family in\u00a0Kettic\u00e8, directed by Italian director\u00a0Giovanni Tortorici. Luca Guadagnino also produced\u00a0the film.<\/p>\n
