aka The Great Beauty
Director Paulo Sorrentino crafts a piece of great elegance, cynicism, wonder and thoughtfulness in the Italian art-film La Grande Bellezza.
It's about an ageing socialite who realizes he's wasted his life schmoozing with the elite & rich of Rome when there's something far more important right in front of his face. It's an interesting contrast of his age and ancient Rome colliding with the youthful rich and loud party music scattered throughout the film, violating the senses. This great beauty owes it's fascinating camera work & dizzying techniques to the works of Federico Fellini but is by no means a direct imitation and stands out on it's own as a gorgeous piece of cinema.
