“The world’s most talked about movie today!”

ComedyDrama

Episodic journey of journalist Marcello who struggles to find his place in the world, torn between the allure of Rome's elite social scene and the stifling domesticity offered by his girlfriend, all the while searching for a way to become a serious writer.

VIBE

A sprawling, melancholic journey through Rome's glittering, yet ultimately hollow, high society. It's a visually opulent, existential slow-burn, draped in black-and-white grandeur, exploring the intoxicating allure and spiritual emptiness of a decadent world. A wistful, cynical gaze at the search for meaning amidst superficiality.
