The Great Beauty
2013 · TMDB 7.5 · La grande bellezza
Directed by Paolo Sorrentino
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.
Why it matters
Jep Gambardella, a writer lost in Rome's social whirl, finds a strange kinship with a saintly woman who communicates through silence and acts of kindness. Their bond is built on shared observation, not words.
