Game Changers | La Grande Bellazza
-
Mon 19 Jan
La Grande Bellezza is a visually stunning masterpiece often considered a modern echo of Fellini's La Dolce Vita. The film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and is a melancholic ode to the city of Rome and the search for meaning.
We follow Jep Gambardella, a 65-year-old journalist and theater critic who wrote a single successful novel decades ago. He is the undisputed king of Roman nightlife and moves effortlessly through a world of decadent parties, intellectual high society, and absurd characters. However, after his 65th birthday and hearing news of a former childhood sweetheart, Jep begins to look at his empty existence with new eyes.
