Journalist Jep Gambardella has charmed and seduced his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome for decades. Since the legendary success of his one and only novel, he has been a permanent fixture in the city's literary and social circles, but when his 65th birthday coincides with a shock from the past, Jep finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties, and cafés to find Rome in all its glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.
Leave your thoughts about The Great Beauty.
| CinexcepciónHugo Hernández Valdivia... a nostalgic journey - fantastic and surreal... [Full review in Spanish] |
| Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungThough Sorrentino’s vision of moral chaos and disorder, spiritual and emotional emptiness at this moment in time is even darker than Fellini’s...he describes it all in a pleasingly creative way that pulls audiences in through humor and excess. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThe film is defiantly short on structure, but the beautiful chaos is so chaotically beautiful that only the surliest viewer will think to complain. |
| Time OutDave CalhounIt’s an exploration of all things surface, yes, but it has soul too. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsThis 43-year-old filmmaker is a major talent. Though he may not be the second coming of Fellini, his films all have a funny, refreshingly complex perspective, and his latest work is a perfect example of why he is the next big Italian thing. |
| TIME MagazineRichard and Mary Corliss[Sorrentino] stuffs, nearly engorges, this 2 hour-and-20-minute film with outrageous and gloriously visual anecdotes. |
| New York Magazine/VultureBilge EbiriThe Great Beauty is a subtly daring cinematic high-wire act - an entire film built around one character's unrealized, unspecified yearning. And it might just be the most unforgettable film of the year. |
| QuickflixGlenn DunksThe title is about as spot on as you can get and this is ultimately a film that raises the search for beauty in this world to a stylish art. |
| Flicks.co.nzRebecca Barry HillA spectacular film, as messy, strange and funny as a dream, with hedonistic party scenes to rival The Great Gatsby. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Sarah WardSorrentino's film may flit between vignettes of extravagance and eccentricity, but more is always toiling underneath. |
