After the show was over I ended up with a knot on my throat

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 1998)

Perhaps the more heart breaking experience I have had watching a movie. I was amazed by the way Roberto Benigni took me by the hand through a path of joy and laughter into the deep hollowness of death, love and sorrow. What a way to let an audience feel and truly understand the horror of racism at its extremes. Documentaries and other films on this subject (Schindler's List for instance) often leave the audience cold and devoid of true feelings about that monstrosity.
