The World According to Paolo Sorrentino

A video essay on Paolo Sorrentino, the Italian filmmaker who directs artistic and sentimental films on love, loss, old age and beauty, inspired by the scenic vistas of Rome, Naples, and Italy. Sorrentino's films and screenplays include The Great Beauty (La grande bellezza), The Hand of God (È stata la mano di Dio), Il Divo, Youth (starring Michael Caine), and the TV show The Young Pope.
In this essay I breakdown the world according to Paolo Sorrentino, to show his essential romantic-nostalgic philosophy.

I starte watching his work with the young pope expecting just a satirical and cynical take on the papacy and religion. I ended the show in tears and blown away by the beauty and heart in it

[@ludwigfeuerbach]

so true

Sorrentino is by far my favorite director today, and has been since I stumbled upon The Great Beauty some years ago. More please. His are the films I would like to be in. Thank you for this lovely summation/examination of his work.

Thanks for sharing, the rooftop dialogue in La Grande Bellezza has stayed with me for a very long time & the character Cardinal Voiello in the Young & New Pope is fascinating. His cinematography is always stunning.

This is a very interesting, astute, and worthwhile critique of one of my favorite directors -- Thank you, BRAVO!

Intelligent and Insightful analysis of Paul Sprrentino’s films. Grazie.

[@hobonickel840]

Would love to see Sorrentino take on the life of Caravaggio as this reminds me of this highly occulted chiaroscuro master aetist of light and shadow

[@BoneyKnee]

Thanks for this. Some very good & simple observations that I think hit the mark on how to approach and what to expect from Sorrentino.

[@bobeichelberg7715]

That was a fantastic analysis!

La influencia de Fellini en las películas de Sorrentino es innegable, por momentos la Dolce Vitta es la gran Belleza , y 8 1/2 es Youth, les recomiendo verlas

The story and character have striking similarities with “The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone” by Tennessee Williams

Mate, good video, but it is not a bridge it is an aqueduct

be born again and live forever
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
