Life, Joy, and Family

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2000)

I honestly can't remember the last time I smiled so much!
This movie is far from a comedy, but it conveys an honest to goodness joy of life and love that is impossible to walk away from. Amazing acting, and a wonderful personal introduction to the amazing Mr. Benini, who I agree is one of Italy's national treasures. Most of all, I love the portrayal of Fatherhood in this movie. Where a man will do anything to protect his son and wife, even against impossible odds. Touching, sentimental, and simply wonderful. Too many adjectives, I know, but all of them apply!

10/10, because this is what movies should be like. Inspiring and moving. Bravo!
