"To this question, when we were young, my friends used to answer always the same way: "Pussy". I instead used to answer: "Old people's houses' smell". The question was: "What do you really like in life?". I was destined to sensibility. I was destined to become a writer. I was destined to become Jep Gambardella."
This is how the movie "The Great Beauty" starts. It is followed by a quote from "Journey to the End of Night" by Céline: “To travel is very useful, it makes the imagination work, the rest is just delusion and pain. Our journey is entirely imaginary, which is its strength.”
Don't miss the movie. I feel I need to watch it at least one more time. IMDB counts it in comedy/drama genre. Although there are so many funny scenes in the movie by no means I'd count it as a comedy.
