Numa sala perto de mim #327

Youth - La Giovinezza (2015), another movie by Paolo Sorrentino that makes us think about life. A retired composer and conductor, an old movie director working on the last screenplay of his career, a woman with two occupations (daughter and her father's assistant), and a famous Hollywood actor, all cross paths in a Swiss spa for the vacation of the very rich. Little by little we learn about their lives, their joys and fears, and their goals or the lack of them, while enjoying walks on the countryside, rejuvenating mud baths, exquisite meals, a variety of live shows, having a massage, or just relaxing in the pool. Other characters worth of note are a child, Miss Universe, a retired world famous football player, a masseuse, a doctor, four young writers, an unfaithful husband, an ugly pop star, a prostitute, a royal assistant, a disconcerting middle-aged couple, a controlling mother and her young teenage daughter, a world famous actress at the end of her career... and a simple song.
