This is what a "deep" Art-house film should look like
j-m-w14 September 2017
First of all, this movie has great images. beautiful composed, great colors and camera-angels. That alone is worth it.

Apart from that. Its a film which gets you thinking, makes you discuss it with your friends and that in a deep way. You don't discuss what happened in this film or what the plot was. You directly discuss the meaning of it all. You get inspired by it to new ideas. It just gets your brain to work.

And for me that is what an Art-house film should be like.

And also you don't have the feeling that you didn't understood the movie or the plot, which for me is always a big issue with Art-house movies.

The movie is perfectly clear, without a usual Plot or Good/Evil build- up.

The Poetry of Rome - Amazing Picture
ardeharenne18 October 2019
Esthetic, a dance between depth and emptiness.

Jep gambardella is a man with who you dance, with who you love, with who you think, and with who you cry.

First you dance in Rome, then you love the truth as Jep spits it to the face of his friends. You love the circle of friends he has and you get attached to each them. And sometimes you feel the emptiness of their existence, a distraction from the depth of their live.

Must see. You will fall in love with the beauty of Rome and the Poetry of the Italian language and the people who live by her! Amazing picture!

This page is NOT for the original film "The Great Beauty"
homeemail-383395 June 2023
This is not the film "The Great Beauty"! The director of "The Great Beauty" ("La grande bellezza") is Paolo Sorrentino. The film was released in 2013 and is 2hr21 in length.

This page shows a one-hour "making of" by a different director. This short film is directed by Gianluca Jodice. The trailer is also not for the film "The Great Beauty," but instead for the short film.

This Review window will not allow me to insert URLs to guide you to the original listing. In addition, I'm forced to make the review longer. I have nothing to add, so it is not necessary in the least to read this paragraph, or the next one, at all.

I note, however, that several reviews are short, one consisting of only two short sentences.

Interesting...
Thanos_Alfie28 February 2023
"The Great Beauty" is a Drama movie in which we watch an old writer thinking about his life and the way he used to party through the nightlife of Rome. On his 65th birthday he starts questioning his life choices but he finds a simply beautiful landscape to spend some time there.

I found this movie very interesting because it had a seemingly simple movie but it was not. The plot it might seemed simple but it is not because it presents the life choices of a person and how he sees these memories and how he feels about them. The direction which was made by Gianluca Jodice was very good and he succeeded on presenting very well his main character and establish a connection between him and the audience. In addition to this, the interpretation of Toni Servillo was simply amazing and he made the difference. To sum up, I have to say that "The Great Beauty" is an interesting movie and I highly recommend everyone to watch it because it will make you think about your life choices and questioning about how life changes in general.
