For decades, journalist Jep Gambardella has charmed and seduced his way through the glittering nightlife of Rome. Since the legendary success of his only novel, he has been a permanent fixture in the city`s literary and elite social circles. But on his sixty-fifth birthday, Jep unexpectedly finds himself taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the lavish nightclubs, parties, and cafes to find Rome itself, in all its monumental glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty. Featuring sensuous cinematography, a lush score, and an award-winning central performance by the great Toni Servillo (Gomorrah), this transporting experience from the brilliant Italian director Paolo Sorrentino (Il divo) is a breathtaking Fellini-esque tale of decadence and lost love.

...ein aesthetischer, intellektueller Film für gescheite Leute, die das zu schätzen wissen. Schön, dass es noch ein paar von diesen gibt.
Nein danke!

Mir hat der Film absolut NICHT gefallen: schlechte Schauspieler, Chaos-Handlungen, langweilig und ohne Herzblut. Zuviel Konzentration nötig um überhaupt etwas zu verstehen, so macht Film-gucken KEIN Spass. Einziges positives: Wunderschöne Bilder von der Stadt Roma!
wunderschön
