Asstonishingly acting!!

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2006)

I had no expectations at all when I saw this movie the first time, I mean foreign movies from southern europe tend to be mostly crap according to me. But what I first realized was that the acting of Roberto Bengini was outstanding. He seemed so real and at the same time he was incredibly funny. The movie is about him meeting the love of his life, Dora, and they get married and get a child Giosué. It's then the late 30's and since Guido is Jewish he and his son is transported to a concentration camp. Since his wife doesn't want to leave him she goes there too. Guido doesn't want to frighten his son and says that it's a competition where the winner will get a tank. Now he has to act like it's fine and that nothing's wrong. This is the best foreign movie I've ever seen and it's at least top-10 of all the movies I've seen. As I said Bengini's acting is outstanding and that he's the writer and the producer of the movie just makes the success of the movie more amazing. If you haven't seen this movie, I can assure you that you've missed something great. This is a masterpiece!!
