The winner of the 2013 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film was the Italian film, The Great Beauty. Written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino, this film depicts Jep Gambardella (Toni Servillo), an older man who has just turned 65, navigating his way through the elite night life of Rome. Jep gained his fame from one greatly acclaimed novel and then became a journalist. In this film, the audience watches Jep as he tries to move forward and examine his life. This film contains nudity, mild profanity, and references to drugs and alcohol.

What Our Students Are Saying

“This is my first experience with The Language Learning Institute. I have always wanted to learn to speak the Italian language. My grandparents on both sides are from Italy and I wish that my parents spoke the language to us but they wanted to make sure English was spoken all the time. I have only good things to say about the Institute. The instructors are all very knowledgeable in the Italian language and of the country. As a beginner, they make me feel very comfortable learning this beautiful language. I have enjoyed all of my classes and look forward to future classes with the Institute.”
