罗马,夏日,一队穿梭其中的游客。这座美得令人窒息的古老城池,正以一种神秘而冷艳的姿态诱惑着他们,让人心甘情愿地被这份精致得令人绝望的美丽所俘获,沉醉其中。然而在捷普·甘巴尔代拉(托尼·瑟维洛 Toni Servillo 饰)眼中,罗马却是一座寂寞之都。65岁的捷普是一名成功记者,风度翩翩、魅力十足。年轻时代撰写的一本文学作品让他在早年就名利双收。他辗转在各样肆意妄为的奢靡与觥筹交错的社交之中,用一双冷酷到几近麻木的双眼,目睹这座绝美之城背后的空虚与隐秘。当女高音的咏叹调再次响起,游走在平民生活与上层社会之间的捷普,开始重拾那些逝去的青春记忆,只有罗马之城仍依旧着她的冷漠与华美,不曾改变。 本片斩获2014年第86届奥斯卡金像奖最佳外语片及2014年第71届金球奖最佳外语片两项大奖,并入围2013年第66届戛纳电影节主竞赛单元-金棕榈奖。

On 21. September 2013, telecommunications satellite APV-1312 belonging to French media group CanalDouble crashes into the Brandenburg Gate, cutting a trail of destruction as far as the Reichstag. 56 delegates die. Thirteen minutes later, all around the world more and more satellites plummet to earth. Communications, as we have known them, are collapsing everywhere. West of Geneva. At the largest research laboratory in the world, with a budget of one billion dollars, an experiment has failed that is going to throw the whole world off its hinges. Scientists from 80 nations have simulated the Big Bang with the so-called 'God Machine', the world's greatest particle accelerator, and thereby created a Black Hole. Reaching Geneva turns into a tour de force for our heroes, through a country that like its neighbors is in a state of total emergency, but equally into a time of human encounters. A time, where courage overcomes the fear and human beings do not shut themselves off but take decisive action. A time, where the end is a beginning, and where two brothers become soul mates again. A time, where weakness turns into strength and individuals are unified into a single nation. A time, where despair turns into hope, and loneliness into the love of a lifetime. A time, where one look says more than a thousand words, and even the smallest individuals become giants. Europe's darkest hour turns into a time of patriotic heroes. Heroes just like you and me... - Written by Dreamtool Entertainment
