La Grande Bellezza (IT/FR, 2013)

An Italo-Franco coproduction, visually striking, inventive and colourful.

The storyline is freewheeling yet entirely natural and the atmosphere of Rome by night seeps through very nicely on the big screen.

There's a delightful swipe at "meaningful" communist guerilla theatre; obligatory ethnics make only a brief, ambiguous appearance.

The Silver Linings Playbook now surely has a competitor for film of the year.
