In triumphant return to form for world-renowned visionary director Paulo Sorrentino, The Great Beauty is released on DVD and Blu-ray by Artificial Eye on 14th January 2014.

Jep Gambardella, a 65-year-old journalist and once promising novelist, lives his easy life among Rome's decadent high society in a swirl of rooftop parties and late-night soirees. But when he learns of the death of his friend's wife - a woman he once loved as an 18-year-old - his life is thrown into perspective and he begins to see the world through new eyes...

A dazzling, dizzying and entrancing cinematic tour-de-force, built around a stunning performance by Toni Servillo (Il Divo, Gomorrah), The Great Beauty is a sumptuously shot satire on Berlusconi's Italy that has drawn comparisons with Italian classics such as La Dolce Vita and La Notte.
