an emotional tour de force

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 1999)

This is film is fantastic. When I left I was so emotionally charged. I didn't know if I was happy or sad. The film is so funny, so sad, and so beautiful all at once. The beginning of this movie has some truly amazing comedic sequences. Things that were funny earlier suddenly all come together to make this magically funny sequences between Roberto Benigni and Nicoletta Braschi. The movie then gets more serious, but still has the comedic elements; so your laughing and near crying all at the same time. The acting and direction is also fantastic. This movie is definitely a 10/10.
