In Reply to: How many baby boomers, here? I'll bang the gong, yet again, for, "The Great Beauty:" posted by tinear on March 31, 2014 at 17:42:13:

three disks (the Blue Ray is superb) and a nice booklet. I must say, after seeing it, that this moves my goal posts for contemporary film making. Up until now Bertolucci's 'The Last Emperor' has always represented the ultimate in art direction, cinematography, AND story telling. This film exposes contemporary Roman life with such artistic cunning that it is difficult to grasp the creative process that went into it. The visualizations of ancient Rome and the characterizations of Jep's vapid friends both clash and harmonize with the help of perfectly composed cinematography, art direction, and dialog that binds together the journey and message of the film. Jep begins to feel the wasted decades of his life but comes full circle to find his way back to the muse of his youth who gives him a new beginning. Along the way we are given the beauty of Rome wrapped in humor and awe.

If you don't do subtitles then you are missing something special. This one is a keeper.
