And a beautiful film

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 1999)

I can't believe that people criticize this movie for inaccuracy. The purpose is not to perfectly document the holocaust but to present the strength of an individual who attempted to overcome this atrocity through humor. Benigni demonstrates how ridiculous the Nazis were without detracting from the seriousness of the issue. In order to correctly view this film one must understand the irony portrayed. In addition to this film I also recommend "Johnny Stecchino", another Roberto Benigni film that is more on the light hearted side.
