Pure brilliance.

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 1999)

When I saw this movie, it was the first non-english, non-dutch film I had seen in the theatre, I was deeply moved. Shocking how Begnini used such a topic as german prison camps to create a -sometimes- humoristic movie. But more shocking was for me, how well he did it. I loved this movie, sometimes (in the beginning) with a laugh, and in the end with a tear. Pure brilliance.
