Synopsis
Hailed as the 21st century version of the greatest La Dolce Vita by the legendary Fellini, The Great Beauty is conceivably the greatest work of Paolo Sorrentino yet. This Cannes winner returns to his natural cinematic element and language, instantly captivates us with the swooning electric opening scene of Rome. Swimming sinuously around the magnificent vestiges and trashy parties, we meet Jep Gamberdella, played by Sorrentino’s regular collaborator Toni Servillo, an irresistibly charming journalist of pensionable age who made his reputation with a novel he wrote in his early twenties and nothing else. Knowing almost everyone in town, Jeb’s sophistication in high life makes him view the world with bitter lucidity, leading to scenes of absurdity and acidity arrayed in Sorrentinoesque satires. Electrified by an expected event, Jep is forced to face his haunted past, and once again decides to pick up his long lost pen. As Sorrentino’s signature rectilinear composition and dreamlike zooms interweaving with splendid classical music and glassy electri-pop, this minimalist drama glorifies whilst laments the love, sex, art and death of the grande City of Rome.
電影簡介
重拾昔日意大利電影最輝煌的光景，《羅馬浮世繪》被譽為21世紀費里尼的《露滴牡丹開》。影片以過氣作家積普甘巴德拉為視點，遊走於羅馬大街小巷，從昔日莊嚴華麗的迴廊，走進現代聲色犬馬的空洞。積普玩世不恭，終日夜蒲浮華派對，出席糜爛飯局。但年華已去的積普，早看破世情，與名流無盡虛談歡笑間，總是無情地批判著一張張假惺惺的嘴臉。誇張的言語和情節中，如畫般絢麗的前衛影像裡，盡顯嘲諷與詭譎。直至一天，突如其來的噩耗喚醒了積普寂寥的上流生活，促使他面對歷史的傷痕與遺憾，像那美麗的羅馬城一樣，璀璨背後，滲出淡淡鄉愁與悲涼。作為最被看重的意大利新生代導演之一，保路蘇雲天奴向來是康城影展常客，今次更憑本片勇奪全球多個獎項。
