A most appropriate title

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 1998)

Roberto Benigni's performace is a brilliant mix of comedy and heartache, as is the film itself. Benigni's madcap antics are hilarious, and though the film turns somber in the second half, it still leaves you with the blessing of laughter and the triumph of love. This is truly a great film and deserves and Oscar nomination, as does Benigni and Giorgio Cantarini as his son Giosué. Wonderful, wonderful.
