Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Jep Gambardella is a witty, wealthy socialite who after writing a modern classic in his youth has been dining out on it ever since in an endless succession of parties among Rome's artistic elite. However, after his 65th birthday party he's informed by a tearful widower that his first girlfriend, and the subject of his one and only book, has died. This triggers a slow but profound Heel Realisation from Jep that, despite best intentions, he's been wasting his talents and goes on a search for... something. Of course he immediately meets a woman, Ramona, with whose help he tries to overcome the emptiness of his life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The second important character here is Romano played by Carlo Verdone, a famous Italian director. He is like Jep a provincial who came to Rome but never reached success comparable with Jep's. His plans usually fail and he cannot attract the girl whom he woos.La Grande Bellezza is yet another outing for Production Posse Paulo Sorrentino and Toni Servillo in a particularly resplendent production. The film has received great acclaim from critics, and has been favourably compared to the work of Federico Fellini and indeed bears more than a passing similarity to La Dolce Vita. It might appear that there's no story as such, however in fact all scenes are tightly interwoven with each other and the film follows a fairly strict logic. Even though the plot threads can be properly followed only after several viewings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Many characters who are presented in the chaotic manner follow their paths which can be discerned. The film has a number of brick jokes when the second scene with a certain character is a development of the theme established in the first scene. As a result each character has his own arc, all of which eventually come to a resolution of sorts. | |

Wrong Genre Savvy: Romano who frequently thinks that he is a romantic character of a novel who enchants a much younger girl. In fact she is never impressed by his efforts and always puts him down. He is a comic old man and a Hopeless Suitor. Also Romano tries to emulate D'Annunzio in his works while Jep believes that his artistic temperament is very different and he needs to write something of his own while his imitation of D'Annunzio is ridiculous. | |

Older Than They Look: In-universe. Jep Gambardella celebrates his 65th birthday while Tony Servillo was in his early fifties during the shooting of the film. In fact the character hardly looks 65 being somewhere between actual 52 of Servillo and declared 65 of Gambardella. | |

The man answers that he couldn't. Jep says "But I could.", but afterwards recognises his rudeness. Another could be his "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Stefania, although she was pratically asking for it. | |

Stylistic Suck: Interestingly subverted by the girl who is compelled to produce an action-painting at the party by her parents. In the end her work turns out to be beautiful as in "the great beauty". Jep invokes that 11 pro-socialist novels and the book on the Party's history written by Stefania are terrible and no-one reads them. Also the brief quotes from Romano's imaginary novel he recites to his "girlfriend" are this. | |

Most Writers Are Writers: Jep, the protagonist of the film is the one as well as a journalist. Romano is also an aspiring writer. Stefania wrote 11 novels and a book on her (leftist) Party's history. Jep states that everything written by her is atrocious. Romano's non-girlfriend tells him that she is no more an actress but a writer. Exactly when he promises her a role in his movie. | |

Friendless Background | |
| The Great Beauty / int_4a57732a | comment |
Friendless Background: Very interestingly zigzagged for Andrea. When a priest after the end of the funeral service urges the friends of the deceased to come to the coffin and carry it out at first no-one moves to the despair of his mother Viola. However after some pause four usual suspects go out: Jep (a famous writer), Sebastiano Paff (Italy's greatest poet for the moment as per Jep), Lello Cava (a hugely rich toy seller whom his wife Trumeau urges to abstain as he has a bad back) and Romano. That implies that on one hand Andrea did not have any true friends among people of his age however on the other hand his coffin is carried by several people of importance. | |

| The Great Beauty / int_53b39668 | comment |
Reality Show: Stefania was the host of the one called "Girl farm". She is less proud of that line in her CV as opposed to 11 novels and a book on the Party's history. Still she believes that it was a useful stint as she was never afraid to get her hands dirty. Jep is of a very low opinion both of her participation in the reality show and of those 11 novels anyway. | |

Serious Business: Andrea takes literature including Turgenev and Marcel Proust much more seriously than an average person. Their quotes about death haunt him. He also says that if he should not take Turgenev and Proust seriously then he does not see whom or what he should take seriously. Jep says that Andrea needs to treat seriously only the restaurant menu. | |

Stealth Hi/Bye: Jep has a stealth bye when he is invited by Orietta at hers to have sex. They do and later Orietta tells that she is always making pictures of herself. Then she goes to another room to bring her collection of photos to show them to Jep. He is suddenly disinterested and quits her apartment in the manner of this trope. | |

Arc Words: Jep Gambardella, the author of one masterpiece is (somewhat) asked thrice "why he has not written another book". He first answers to Ramona that he spent too much nights out and wasted his forces while penning a novel requires concentration. Ramona retorts that it is a Non-Answer. Jep then adds than he was always a sprinter who wrote in spurts and then had long pauses. Then he himself says during the party (in the presense of his maid) that they always ask him why he did not write another novel. And answers that one should look at those people (of the high society) who are savages. In the end he is also asked the same question by Suor Maria. He answers with a Title Drop: | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Given his incisive and witty nature, Jep is quite good at these.

Jep is goaded into delivering one to Stefania and he utterly eviscerates her in the process. | |

Three-Act Structure | |
| The Great Beauty / int_8386a7a | comment |
Three-Act Structure: The first act is dedicated to the introduction of the main characters. The second starts when Jep is notified about the death of his old flame by her husband. It is a point of no return event for him. Then he starts the romance with Ramona. It ends with the death of Ramona and departure of Romano. (Also briefly before that Andrea commits suicide and his mother Viola volunteers as a missionary and departs for Africa). In the last scene of the act Jep and Stefania clear up things between them as they dance and Stefania is also absent from the third act. In addition the mysterious neighbour of Jep proves to be Giulio Moneta, an acclaimed criminal and he is arrested so he leaves him too in a way. The third one is entirely revolving around the visit of suor Maria whom Jep is requested to interview by Dadina. It appears that acts are separated by the scenes which do not have any influence on the plot (as opposed to many other which actually do) The first and second acts are divided by the scene when Jep is in a small church where the upset mother looks for her lost daughter. Jep sees the girl which is on the lower level of this church. Then a child asks Jep who he is and answers herself that he is a nobody. The second and the third acts are separated by the scene where Jep goes through the photos of a man who first was shot by his father then by himself every day throughout his life and now exhibits the whole collection of his images. Even though the last scene with Stefania follows this scene thus by this reasoning she is also barely present in the third act. | |

Jep asks Stefania in their last conversation whether they ever had sex in the past. She rejects this idea indignantly. He says that then they have a thing to do in the future which is therefore marvelous for them. | |

Lady in Red: Orietta wears a red dress. Jep goes with her to her place, has sex with her but then makes a stealth bye. Later Ramona has a red gown on when she meets Jep. He is immediately impressed. | |

Brick Joke: An omnipresent trop for this film. Many later scenes with episodic characters are actually callbacks to their previous scenes. They build on the things stated earlier. | |
