Superb Film Benigni

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2001)

This film does the impossible. It tells an incredibly funny story that is set during the holocaust in WWII, that also depicts the horrible truth about the holocaust and the suffering of the Jewish people. Roberto Benigni's film is a wonder that it can accomplish both. The playful way his character tries to woo his future wife, and then shields his child from the awful truth of the concentration camp that they find themselves in is amazing. This film is a must see to anyone with a heart. It is a powerful statement and an enjoyable film.
