Worthwhile foreign film.

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2019)

Life is beautiful is a one of kind film, with funny moments and beautiful moments.
It's enthralling and rich in feeling, but also hasn't much depth. I agree that it doesn't capture the torment on any level, but it's a film so it doesn't have to and it's labelled a comedy after all. Benigni plays part goof, part heroic sort of genius, but the film doesn't work without Dora's magnetic presence. All the moving moments involve Braschi as well.
