Paolo Sorrentino

Director

Italian film director and screenwriter born in Naples in 1970, known for visually bold, often formally ambitious films and recurring collaborations with actor Toni Servillo.

Won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for La Grande Bellezza (2014). Frequently works with actor Toni Servillo. Debuted feature films in the early 2000s and remains active.

DeBaser reviews present Paolo Sorrentino as a visually daring auteur whose work divides opinion. Reviewers repeatedly praise his striking frames and recurring collaborations (notably with Toni Servillo). Criticisms focus on perceived thinness of some narratives and occasional self-referential excess. The coverage spans early films to later autobiographical works.

For:film enthusiasts, students of cinema, critics and fans of Italian auteur filmmaking

 everything becomes almost a parody, a desire to be deep and beautiful without the "background" on which to build those reflections, those scenes.
