Italy
★ 7.2 editorial score
The closest anyone has come to remaking La Dolce Vita and surviving it: an aging Roman journalist drifts through parties and ruins, and the city has never looked better.
“Rome is the Eternal City, but it is also one of the great cities of cinema, which means continuous change and flow. The Great Beauty, the new film from Paolo Sorrentino, plunges headlong into the current. All you can do is plunge in there with it and clamber out two and a half hours later, sopping wet, gulping the air and perhaps having lost a shoe.”
