LA GRANDE BELLEZZA/THE GREAT BEAUTY (15) 2013 ITALY SORRENTINO PAOLO £15.99
Italian existential drama directed by Paolo Sorrentino. Jep Gambardella
(Toni Servillo) is an accomplished journalist who has made his name and
reputation through his work and a largely successful novel he published
as a young man. Presently a bachelor in his mid-60s, Jep spends much of
his time around the upper bourgeoisie living in Rome and engages in a
hedonistic and liberated life.
But when he learns of the death of a former lover through her widowed
husband, Jep is at once confronted with the fragility of life and the
certainty of death, making him reconsider his present situation and
careless existence.
