    500 words or so on 'The Great Beauty'

    'The Great Beauty' starts quiet, serene, achingly beautiful as the camera strolls round a church, casting its gaze on passersby and a singing ensemble - before someone falls down dead. We're greeted by the words 'Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength.'
