Mon film préféré de tous les temps. Si beau, que de soit dans les plans, la mise en scène, le jeu d’acteur, ou le scénario. Paolo Sorrentino est mon grand maître du cinéma. Une quête de la Beauté qui nous transporte. L’Italie, encore et toujours plus belle. Alliage du profane et du sacré maîtrisé à la perfection. Je pourrais en parler pendant des heures
Synopsis
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.

Viewers are captivated by 'The Great Beauty's' stunning visual storytelling and profound narrative, exploring the superficial life of Rome's elite through Jep Gambardella's disillusioned eyes. The film's blend of aesthetic beauty, social satire, and deep reflections on life and death resonates strongly, earning it high praise as a masterpiece of modern cinema. However, some find its thematic depth and cultural references a bit inaccessible without prior knowledge of Italian culture.
👍 Masterful blend of the profane and the sacred.
👎 May feel too culturally specific for some.
