The Great Beauty showcases Rome as a city drenched in art, history, and indulgence. Jep’s journey through grand palaces, ancient ruins, and decadent parties reflects his existential search for meaning. The Colosseum and Gianicolo Hill are more than landmarks; they symbolize the weight of Rome’s history on Jep’s modern life. Rome feels alive with contrasts, where timeless beauty coexists with excess and disconnection. The city shapes Jep’s reflection on his life, making it inseparable from the story.
