Resumen

Splendor es una película de drama italiana de 1989 dirigida por Ettore Scola. Trama Jordan (Marcello Mastroianni) dirige un cine en dificultades llamado Splendor en un pequeño pueblo de Italia. Las bajas ventas de boletos significan que el cine ya no es un negocio viable, y Jordan reflexiona sobre sus experiencias dirigiendo Splendor, desde su llegada al pueblo de niño con su padre. Conoce a la corista francesa Chantal (Marina Vlady) en una de sus presentaciones, y ella viene a trabajar para él como acomodadora. El cinéfilo Luigi (Massimo Troisi) asiste repetidamente a proyecciones de Il Sorpasso para ver a Chantal, de quien está enamorado, y después de un breve romance comienza a trabajar para Jordan como proyeccionista. La asistencia al cine disminuye con el auge de la televisión y Jordan considera traer strippers para tratar de resolver sus problemas financieros. A lo largo se ven clips de las películas mostradas en el cine: Metropolis, It's a Wonderful Life, La Grande Guerra, Amarcord, entre otras.
