La Grande Bellezze / The Great Beauty (2013 Paolo Sorrentino & co-scr)

Distinctly Felliniesque (the light which turns into an aircraft is a direct quotation), La Dolce Vita for the 21st Century, but funnier.

Toni Servillo (Gomorrah, Le Conseguenze dell' Amore) is absolutely splendid as the weary cynical observer of the party-going ruling class in modern Rome (a chilly representation of the city).

Fantastic, sweeping photography in Panavision by Luca Bigazzi (This Must be the Place, Romanzo Criminale) with stunning candlelit scene in a museum, and incisive editing by Cristiano Travaglioli, great music too Lele Marcitelli.

With Olivia Magnani, Sabrina Ferilli,
