Since the legendary success of his one and only novel, Jep has been a permanent fixture in the city’s literary and social circles, but when his sixty-fifth birthday coincides with a shock from the past, he finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties, and cafés to find Rome in all its glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.
Tickets are available in advance at www.ptix.bm or purchased at the door on the day from 5pm with cash, check, or credit card. Tickets are priced at $15. The film is in Italian with English subtitles, runs 142 minutes and is rated NR.
