How to laugh within a concentration camp.

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2004)

It's something rather difficult, that can offend the jews if it is not done with enough tact. In this case, this is perfect : All the situations are so sweet and Roberto Begnini and Nicoletta Braschi make us feeling both the joy and the pain of the characters that this becomes one of the best movie ever. This movie is a profoundly humane story, because this is the simple story of a man, who fall in love of woman who is engaged, and then succeeds, and when the bad times comes, uses all his courage to protect his child from the reality of a concentration camp. In this movie, I find the character of the doctor very interesting : He's a man who loves riddles and in his job sends people to the chamber gas, and I love the way Begnini draws his personality.
