Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength.” —la grande belleza…my new favorite film

The film opens with a quote from Céline‘s Journey to the End of the Night:  “To travel is very useful, it makes the imagination work, the rest is just delusion and pain. Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength.” from the daily telegraph— “a shimmering coup de cinema”. each scene is a photograph…i couldn’t stop taking iPhone photos sitting in the movie! i was constantly engaging with the film’s beautiful images and emotions…i loved the whole experience! the soundtrack was also perfect… http://filmmusicreporter.com/2013/05/25/the-great-beauty-soundtrack-details/ oh and labradors are NOT DUMB…i am sorry…i loved this picture…and he was an imperfect character…just like all of us. 🙂
