LA GRANDE BELLEZZA /THE GREAT BEAUTY

The movie  LA GRANDE BELLEZZA (THE GREAT BEAUTY), directed by Paolo Sorrentino, winner of the 2014 Academy Award for best foreign language film, is a true story,

even if the initial Céline’s quote “…Our journey is entirely imaginary, …all are imagined” suggests to consider the movie and life just as nothing else but a fiction, a stratagem used to survive by a man who has lost zest of life. So why is it a true story? It is because it’s about illusion and disillusion, about social customs and nostalgia for the past and the movie, in which Rome is portrayed in it’s whole magnificence, unfolds following this leitmotiv.
