Italy has selected acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino's latest film La grande bellezza a.k.a The Great Beauty to represent it at this year's Academy Awards. The film stars Toni Servillo, Carlo Verdone, and Sabrina Ferilli.
British distributors Artificial Eye will release The Great Beauty on Blu-ray on January 13th, 2014. A preliminary release date for the U.S. market has not yet been revealed.
Synopsis: Paolo Sorrentino's (Il Divo, The Consequences of Love) deliriously entertaining new film plays out like a modern La Dolce Vita. Sorrentino regular Toni Servillo -- whose entrance in the film is worth the price of admission alone -- plays Jep Gambardella, a once-acclaimed novelist-turned-columnist, through whose world-weary eyes we witness the decadence of a bankrupt culture consuming itself. The result is a brilliant, sumptuously shot satire of life in Berlusconi's Italy.
