"She makes so many mistakes because she's a slave to her situation," she said. Throughout the film she tried to convey Malena's stifling lack of options, Bellucci said.
"It was really important to me that you see it's me in the scene," she said, "that you see my face and my reactions, that you see the violence." When asked about this, Bellucci didn't flinch. "If the scene is shocking, it's because it's true." "I couldn't risk, with someone as famous as she is, doing a scene like this without its being realistic," Tornatore said. Tornatore and Bellucci decided that she, rather than a body double, would act that scene. Tornatore's worshipful evocation of Bellucci's charms doesn't prepare the viewer for the film's central scene, in which Malena is set upon by the village's jealous wives, who beat her and cut off her hair - a fate shared by many collaborating women at the end of the war.
