This Movie Is Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2015)

This is a beautifully crafted story and never ceases to zombify me each time I watch it.
The holocaust was a tragedy that should always be remembered and never ever repeated, but this story is less about the terrible destruction of that time and more about the love of a man for his wife, his child, and life in general, which makes it absolutely relevant no matter the time of viewing.
I don't know whether it's the use of Italian language that helps to cement the poetic nature of the film, but either way, it works.
This is a timeless tale with a simple but important message - to live.
