action

Jep Gambardella is heading for 65. Since he plunged into the glamorous life of Rome 40 years ago , his life has consisted of parties, beautiful women and dazzling people. He seems to be enjoying his life. As a successful journalist and charmer, he crowns all the city's hip events and celebrates wildly with Rome's high society . But Jep also sees the superficiality and opulence of the society of which he is part. His 65th birthday, a lavish celebration, then marked the turning point in his life; he decides to steer it in a different direction.

background

With La Grande Bellezza , Sorrentino takes up a socially critical topic, as in earlier films. It portrays Italian high society , who praise themselves highly and seem unaware that their golden days are long gone.

reception

“A melancholy-dreamy, hypnotic-seductive film about excess, decadence and the vain chatter of high society, which philosophizes with an abundance of brilliant cinematic miniatures about the meaning and futility of existence. At the same time, a film-historically refined homage to Fellini's " The Sweet Life ", which searches behind all the splendor and beauty for moments of fulfilled present. "

- Lexicon of international film

“With all the joy of the visual, of rolling out the symbolism, 'La Grande Bellezza' is a truly profound film. [...] A film like pure magic that is worth every minute. "
