One of the best movies I have ever seen - and it has subtitles!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 1999)

This was an incredible movie. It had a wonderful balance of humor, romance, sorrow, and love. I completely fell in love with the movie because I am an eternal optimist. I wouldn't say that Guido was an eternal optimist though. It seemed as though happiness came to him as naturally as breathing. And when he was faced with a situation that was beyond his control, where it was not easy to be lighthearted, he found the ability to be so, at the risk of everything, all for his little son. What the viewer sees is one of the finest and most poignant portrayals of human courage that I have encountered yet on the screen. I give it the highest recommendation possible.
