If you loved The Hand of God, try The Great Beauty
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Paolo Sorrentino, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Hand of God, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Great Beauty is
Rome, a lavish party, champagne glasses shattering. A 65-year-old journalist surveys the decadent landscape, his eyes drifting beyond the façade. Sorrentino frames the city's eternal beauty.
