"Paolo Sorrentino's follow-up to his Oscar-winning The Great Beauty, Youth, is set in an Alpine spa for the very rich and famous. Here where the air is crisp and good for the lungs, movie stars, celebrated composers, legendary screenwriters, and Saudi princes with lots of petro dollars to spend are rubbed, bathed, muddied, monitored, entertained, and sometimes fucked by the spa's staff...In the end, Youth, like Sorrentino's The Great Beauty, is the work of a second-rate Fellini." - CHARLES MUDEDE
