If you haven't seen this movie...

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2001)

Some people avoid foriegn films for various reasons. Sometimes it's because they think the language barrier will be a problem, other times it simply because bacteria's the only culture they have. Anyway La Vita e bella is a masterpeice that thoroughly deserved it's Oscar. I don't speak Italian but despite that (and with the help of the subtitles) I was absorbed by the film and - by the end - powerfully moved by its emotive expression. Belive me when I say that this is one of the best movies ever made in any language and if you haven't seen it then grab some shoes and some cash and start running to your nearest video store.
Bravo roberto!
