Paolo Sorrentino returns refreshed to Rome and cements his place amongst leading European filmmakers with his latest work, The Great Beauty. Sorrentino’s regular leading actor Toni Servillo is excellent as always playing journalist Jep Gambardella, who came to fame decades before as author of a novel which he has yet to follow up. Apparently content to rule Rome’s social scene, Jep’s birthday brings a new reflectiveness, magnified by an encounter with the widower of his first love which inspires him to perhaps finally fulfil the promise of his youth. Beautifully made, and filled with cinematic references, it’s one of the year’s finest.
The Great Beauty runs at the IFI from September 6th. BOOK NOW!
