Reinstates my love with cinema!

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2014)

Only thing that irks me about this film is that there are two different films in it. This could/should have been done seamlessly. The first act acts as a prologue to the main film. But what follows is an overwhelming and beautiful tale of emotions- tragic and comedy blended into one. Benigni, without making any political statement, gets closer to the situation and makes this fable an utmost believable one. I've never cried so much watching a film before, especially at the end scene which is a redemption and revelation, of sorts, both at the same time had me in tears and when I learned that there are no more scenes ahead, I was left wiping my tears for a really long time. Such a joy!
