Event Description
THE GREAT BEAUTY (2013)
Italy | Drama
Director: Paolo Sorrentino with: Toni Servillo, Carlo Verdone, Sabrina Ferilli
Dur: 2:22 hrs. In Italian with English subtitles
Programmer: Elías Nahmías
"A visual masterpiece about the search for meaning in a world consumed by beauty and excess."
The Great Beauty is a lavish and introspective exploration of life, beauty, and disillusionment
set against the backdrop of Rome’s high society. Jep Gambardella (Toni Servillo), a once promising
writer now caught in the excesses of Rome’s elite, looks back on his life as he reflects on the
fleeting nature of beauty and the emptiness of fame. Through stunning visuals,
Sorrentino creates a poignant portrait of a man at a crossroads, grappling with questions of legacy,
love, and meaning in an increasingly superficial world. Winner of the Academy Award for Best
Foreign Language Film, The Great Beauty is an exhilarating, bittersweet journey through the heart
of Italy's cultural landscape.
Following the film, there will be a discussion with Amy Cotler.
