One of the worst movie ever

Rating: 1/10 (19 October 1999)

It's been almost two years since that movie's been released, it's available on VHS and on DVD now and I still can't understand how it's been able to lead such an incredibly successful career. It's not funny (in its first part), it's not moving and it's dangerous. Those crazy people who deny the holocaust events could even use some edited parts of this irresponsible thing. I know a lot of people loved it. I respect that. But I believe you have to be well prepared and well documented when you do a film that deals with the Shoah. Apparently Benigni was not. He should have watched the absolutely wonderful and unmissable nine hours of Jacques Lanzmann's "Shoah" at least twice before even considering to do this movie. A truly shocking film.
