Italy at night, a city of fading grandeur and glittering parties — Paolo Sorrentino’s The Great Beauty (La grande bellezza) is a cinematic elegy that looks and feels like a memory you can’t quite trust. Released in 2013, the film is a visual poem about art, decadence, and the search for meaning amid Rome’s intoxicating chaos.
