What's the film about? Its hard to say what this film is about. Its a war movie, its a romantic movie, its a period drama. Yet its none of these and at the same time all of these.

There are very few films you can watch in a foreign language with subtitles which will make you laugh out loud. Life is Beautiful will do so from beginning to end. Benigni is a motor-mouthed genius, the script and screen play devilishly inventive and impishly funny all the way along.It's certainly no flat-out rib-tickler: The experiences of a Jewish Italian waiter and his family in a concentration … more
