"It is impossible to be happy in the most beautiful place in the world."
A disarmingly beautiful woman, named after the city of Naples, charms every man she comes across, as she moves adrift through life, becoming aloof to its wonder and beauty. Director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty, Youth) seems to have a particular affinity for this subject, which I cannot blame him for. Beauty permeates every frame of this film. This movie, much like its heroine, is beautiful and vapid. Sometimes that's just enough to squeak by, but the result is merely skin deep.
