Details: In this Oscar-winning comedy, journalist Jep Gambardella (Toni Servillo, Il divo and Gomorrah) charms and seduces his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome as a permanent fixture in the city's literary and social circles. However, 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. Sixty-five-year-old Jep Gamberdella continues to exude a charm that time seems to have no hold on. Author in his youth of a single novel, "The Human Apparatus", he has not written anything since. He became a very great journalist who frequented Roman high society and social events. His life is a succession of appointments and eccentric parties in which he is the protagonist. Jep, cynical, disillusioned and suffering, witnesses the crisis of a society which seems to have transformed men into monsters. Only the memory of the innocent love of his youth will pull Jep out of the resignation he seems to have chosen as his existence. Maybe it's time for him to start writing again.
