The Great Beauty
Directed by Paolo Sorrentino
Produced by France 2 Cinéma, Indigo Film
A visually sumptuous, philosophically ambitious satire of Roman decadence and aging that searches for transcendence amid beauty, excess, and spiritual emptiness.
Jep Gambardella has seduced his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome for decades, but after his 65th birthday and a shock from the past, Jep looks past the nightclubs and parties to find a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.
