Once again, it was this delightful time to go watch a movie with my dear film club. And once again, I discovered a new director which made the whole thing even more intriguing and, on top of that, I knew really nothing about this flick. Eventually, I have to admit it, it was a rather tough watch, probably the most difficult movie we have seen so far. What was actually about?!? Difficult to say… ... read more

The new Fellini, no discussion about that, with more diversity in music and characters (Sorrentino loves real music, and there are latinamerican characters. The friends og Jep (great Toni Servillo) have rich details and resist big lines.An extremely sense of decadense till the final segment with the saint and the flamingos and the room with a view in Rome.Is that something close to the grato beaut... read more

" Notes: Back then, I had never seen a movie directed by Paolo Sorrentino and to discovered a new director made the whole thing even more intriguing. On top of that, I knew really nothing about this flick. Eventually, I have to admit it, it was a rather tough watch. What was actually about?!? Difficult to say… Middle-life crisis maybe? It is pretty obvious that Paolo Sorrentino tried to make a modern version of ‘La Dolce Vita’ but I’m not sure if his movie will be remembered in 50 years."
