Looking forward to seeing this...

I have seen it, and it's pretty great.

Like The Great Beauty before it, this movie starts to focus more on the next artsy shot composition than its narrative in the second act, and does drag on as a result. . .and yet, I forgive it because they’re just that pretty and thought-provoking. Fellini's influence is all over the dream sequences, it’s full of gorgeous imagery, has a fantastic soundtrack and boasts great performances from its ensemble, all while expressing the beauty and monotony of its setting, and offering contemplative insights on marriage, generational differences, and mortality. I can't wait to revisit it.

Yeah, it's a wonderful film. Sorrentino's style is unique.

*Breathes heavily*

Youth.
Paolo Sorrentino, 2015.

What did I like? Michael Caine and Harvey Keitel have the best chemistry. The movie has a kind of off-beat funny quality everywhere...
Specially when they were betting on that "mute" couple
And a lot of WTF moments like...
Hitler Paul Dano
The last scenes of Caine...
with his wife and then conducting Simple Song #3 were great.

What didn't I like? I'm honestly not crazy about Jane Fonda here.
I found the scene of her crying at the plane after Keitel's character died kinda cheesy and melodramatic, even if it made some sense.

My heart: Me at the Miss Universe scene:

Final thoughts: Good flick. Nice meditation of love, loss, and specially getting old. Simple Song #3 is my jam.

For a second there I thought of them as the lovers from The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover 30 years later. Sorrentino paints film so well.
