A stunning ode to Rome and the hedonism of high society. Aging journalist Jep Gambardella drifts through parties, memories, and spiritual malaise, reflecting on beauty, art, and life’s fleeting meaning. Visually sumptuous and hauntingly poetic. And quite possibly the greatest first 15 minute introduction to any film in the history of cinema.
