Toni says: “THE GREAT BEAUTY in its cinematography captures the wild world of the nights and days of Rome in a love letter to the city from the world of its main character, former novelist and celebrated art critic, Jep Gambardella. From its sensual side via night clubs, shots of lavish homes, and parties, to its view of old architecture and the pomp and circumstance of the Roman Catholic church the films weaves together a wonderfully surreal mix of old and modern Rome. The images and colors are a fabulous mix of both magic and realism in the various episodes that the film consists of over time, with visuals in that match the intense sounds and score of the film.”
