The Great Beauty

 

January 16, 20148:00pm

Released in Italy as La Grande Belleza. Fabulous comedy-drama. Sorrentino’s greatest film yet as the director’s restless camera captures socialite Jep’s journey to make meaning of his life.

Jep Gambardella is a 65-year-old seasoned journalist and theatre critic, mostly committed to wandering among the social events of a Rome immersed in the beauty of its history and in the superficiality of its inhabitants today, in a merciless contrast.

A swooning love letter to Roman decadence. 5 stars.‘ The Guardian.
