A sparkling triumph for Roberto Benigni and Vincenzo Cerami!

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 1999)

This is a film that translates into the heart of any viewer, whether it is seen in it's original Italian, with subtitles, or even without! It demonstrates beautifully the strength of the spirit as an Italian family copes with the realities of WWII. Roberto Benigni shines in his best film to date! Nicoletta Braschi amazes us once again, and who could ever forget the face of little Giosue? An epic film, easily one of the finest films of the decade! 10/10!
