I still love the great beauty (film). Hits on themes I don’t see taken on very often.
For books, Austerlitz by WG Sebald.
I’m an American, and I very much enjoyed La Grande Bellezza. I thought it was a fascinating glimpse of a world I otherwise know nothing about. It was also a visually engaging movie with some gorgeous scenery and nice camera work.
Except that isn't Sorrentino's last film. And both Youth and La grande bellezza are beautiful movies.
