I've just watched this film called Youth by Paolo Sorrentino. It's really strange and beautiful at the same time. I totally liked it. It has some very particular moments that make the film seem magical.
The main character is this retired music composer/maestro, he's in some Swiss clinic improving his health. His best friend a film director is also there in the clinic, along with other very funny and interesting characters. There is the Hollywood actor, miss universe, a retired famous football player.
I think the guy was supposed to be Maradona, they never really say. Nevertheless this character was hilarious. I think the whole tone of the film it's kind of like ironic along with some dark humor. The plot and character development through the film is very solid and steady. Even the ending, when everything unfolds, it does so gracefully. The film has a rating of 7.5 on imdb. it all really depends on your taste. I personally give it a 9/10, it's well done with interesting ideas. It's really not something new, nor it even tries to reinvent cake. As it is, it's a very solid film.
Go watch it, I recommend it. Youth
