FILM: “The Great Beauty”
2014 Academy Award
Nominee – Best Foreign Language Film
Journalist Jep Gambardella (the dazzling Toni Servillo, Il
divo and Gomorrah) has charmed and seduced his way through the
lavish nightlife of Rome for decades. Since the legendary success of his one
and only novel, he has been a permanent fixture in the city's literary and
social circles, but when his sixty-fifth birthday coincides with a shock from
the past, Jep finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his
cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant
nightclubs, parties, and cafés to find Rome in all its glory: a timeless landscape
of absurd, exquisite beauty. Dir. Paolo
