"The Great Beauty"

Presented by Sedona International Film Festival at Harkins Flagstaff 16

A screening from the Sedona International Film Festival Cinema Series:

The epic new drama has just been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film (from Italy), and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It has been a sensation with critics and audiences around the world. “The Great Beauty” has also garnered four European Film Awards nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Writer.

Journalist Jep Gambardella (the dazzling Toni Servillo, Il divo and Gomorrah) has charmed and seduced his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome for decades. Since the legendary success of his one and only novel, he has been a permanent fixture in the city’s literary and social circles, but when his sixty-fifth birthday coincides with a shock from the past, Jep finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties, and cafés to find Rome in all its glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.

James Joiner from Philosophy in the Public Interest and the Northern Arizona University Philosophy Department will lead a discussion following the film screening.
