A truly remarkable testament

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2000)

Words cannot adequately express how I feel about this movie. It moved me in ways no other film has EVER done. I have seen Benigni's other films, and am a fan, but he far surpassed himself with this one. You absolutely MUST see it in the original Italian with subtitles. Otherwise it appears foolish and disjointed. It is such an original story, using humor to deal with the darkest of situations. Not only is it a story of a father's greatest gift to his son, but it is a film about LIFE in the face of all adversity.
