Jep Gambardella has seduced his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome for decades, but after his 65th birthday and a shock from the past, Jep looks past the nightclubs and parties to find a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A glittering, melancholic portrait of Rome's hedonistic underbelly that unfolds with operatic grandeur, watching a aging journalist's decades of beautiful excess collide with mortality and the search for meaning. Sorrentino's film is a sensory feast wrapped around an aching meditation on time's passage and the elusiveness of genuine beauty beneath surfaces.
