The Great Beauty

This movie is a foreign film nominee from Italy.  It is the story of writer Jep Gambardello who on his 65th birthday, reflects on his life.  He has published one immensely successful book which has caused him t live the high life of Rome.  The IMDB site states that he reflects on his life due to a surprise from his past--not much of a conflict or surprise if you ask me.  This has beautiful Rome scenery and it would be interesting to read the screenplay to refresh my memory with the good lines.  The acting was nothing special and the plot had no purpose, besides being a typical high-brow nominated film.

I give this one thumb up holding my eyelids open trying to catch the scenery and dialogue and that's about it.
