Watch it again and again!

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2001)

This is not only the best foreign language film I have seen. It is undoubtedly the warmest, funniest, I hesitate to use the old cliche 'feel-good' (but it is!) movie I have seen in a long, long time. Call me old-fashioned, but you can keep your Lara Crofts, Mummies Returning, Impossible Missions, 007s, eights and nines ... give me Benigni's famous humour and warmth any day of the week. A tip for you: watch this movie in it's native Italian with sub-titles, not dubbed into any language. Better still see with a native Italian speaker who can translate some of the ambiguities ... some things are definitely lost in the translation!
