The Great Beauty

The Great Beauty (2013) starring Toni Servillo. Jep Gambardella (Servillo) is a 65-year-old Italian who once wrote a novel but has not done much since. He writes magazine articles and goes to parties. In this movie he wanders around Rome and observes various weird things. This film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, though for the life of me I can't see why. It just doesn't turn me on. (In Italian and other languages, with English subtitles.) Grade: C
