In Any Language a Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (24 June 2000)

Roberto Benigni's "Life Is Beautiful" is a near perfect film. The first half is pure comedy while the last is heart-wrenching drama at its grittiest. Somehow Benigni makes it work with a well-deserved Oscar-winning performance for Best Actor. The supporting cast is superb, along with nearly every other aspect of the film. It is one of the Best Foreign Language Films I've ever seen and one of the best films I've ever seen period. Easily 5 stars out of a possible 5.
