The Great Beauty (2013)
Directed by Paolo
Sorrentino this film stars Toni Servillo, Carlo Verdone, Sabrina
Ferilli and Carlo Buccirosso. Following his 65th birthday
an Italian writer that lives in Rome reflects on his life and the
people he spends his time with.
In the tradition of
Fellini this is a slightly dreamy meditation on Rome's cultural elite
and their empty, hedonistic and self absorbed life style. Our
protagonist floats through a world now seemingly filled with death as
his own mortality starts to stare him in the face. I loved the
direction and editing of this film which has a slightly ethereal
quality to it.
5/5
