Truly brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 1999)

Rarely does a film make you laugh loudly and cry. La Vita e Bella did that for me. ROBERTO! is fantastic as Guido, and is well supported by the rest of the cast. The script is excellent, with a great mix of slapstick and good humour. This film reinforces the fact that foreign language films have a hell of a lot to offer the English-speaking world. La Vita e Bella is definitely in my top five, and easily the best tragicomedy ever made. 10/10 for the best movie of the 1990s!
