"The Great Beauty" After "The Great Dictator"

"The Great Beauty" is a well-known movie but some circles in Italy preferred to refrain from any comments on the movie and to allow not this movie to take a higher place than an artwork by remaining silent. 
The aim of this article is not to review the movie, but to investigate the filmmaker's claim and finally to present a proper response to it.
The heroes of the movie are those characters who are introduced as losers by the filmmaker.
But who are they?
They are rich but not famous, they have key to all part of the city but they are unknown, they are associated with religious dignitaries, they have special rules for some ceremonies like funerals and etc. 
Obviously, the movie is a critical work. Thus it's funny if we accept the filmmaker just aimed to criticize a group of unknown Italian authors.
Some of the movie's dialogues also implicitly confirm this fact. Including:

Jep Gambardella: I only wrote one novel, 40 years ago.

And

Jep Gambardella: What job you do?
The Woman: Me? I’m rich

And also the monologue:

Jep Gambardella: I didn’t just want to live the high life; I wanted to be the king of the high life.

Probably the small but powerful and influential Italian group in the fields of Italian culture and politics is the movie's subject and target of criticism.
Some may think that the filmmaker has presented a real and honest image of this group.
To realize how far this presentation is from reality, just consider the images of religion presented by the filmmaker; A caricature! Presenting an unfair image of the character who reminds Mother Teresa's face, itself, is a sufficient reason to accept that we are dealing with a radical filmmaker. Thus this filmmaker's show is more fantasy than real.
