Great Beauty (ej svensk text)

Jep Gambardella, a 65-year-old journalist and once promising novelist, lives his easy life among Rome’s decadent high society in a swirl of rooftop parties and late-night soirees. But when he learns of the death of his friend’s wife – a woman he once loved as an 18-year-old – his life is thrown into perspective and he begins to see the world through new eyes... A dazzling, dizzying and entrancing cinematic tour-de-force, built around a stunning performance by Toni Servillo (Il Divo, Gomorrah), The Great Beauty is a sumptuously shot satire on Berlusconi's Italy that has drawn comparisons with Italian classics such as “La Dolce Vita” and “La Notte”.
