Rome, summer, a group of tourists shuttling through it. This ancient city, breathtakingly beautiful, is luring them with a mysterious and cold charm, making them willingly fall in love with this exquisite beauty that is so desperate as to be lost in it. However, in the eyes of Jabil Gambaldeira (played by Toni Servillo), Rome is a lonely city. Jabil, 65, is a successful journalist, elegant and charming. A literary work he wrote in his youth brought him both fame and fortune at an early age. He wandered through all kinds of unrestrained extravagance and socializing with toasts, witnessing the emptiness and secrecy behind this breathtakingly beautiful city with a pair of cold eyes that were almost numb. When the soprano's arias resounded once again, Jeep, who shuttled between the lives of the common people and the upper class, began to retrieve those lost memories of her youth. Only the city of Rome still retained her coldness and beauty, never changing. This film won the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards in 2014 and the Best Foreign Language Film at the 71st Golden Globe Awards in 2014, and was shortlisted for the Palme d 'Or in the main competition section of the 66th Cannes Film Festival in 2013.[Collapse]
