Anthony L Mar 5 Stays away from the actual horrors of the Holocaust in order to make a fairytale based in a conceration camp.

See more matthias S @Thescreenasvor Mar 15 I’d had *La vita è bella* on my watchlist forever, so my expectations were sky-high. Somehow it still blew past them. I genuinely didn’t expect to laugh this much in a film about the Holocaust, yet I found myself smiling and enjoying so many moments. Roberto Benigni is an absolute tour de force, stealing every scene he’s in with this wild, heartfelt energy. The father-son dynamic gives the film its magic — it’s charming and funny one second, then quietly devastating the next. That balance is incredibly hard to pull off, but the movie nails it. The time just flew by. I’ve seen plenty of Holocaust films, but this one feels completely different — imaginative, emotional, and unforgettable. Easy 4.5 stars for me.

"La vita è bella" (1997) - (what a beautiful title) is a great movie. It is genuinely moving and fascinating film that is full of good heart even at the cost of some historical accuracy. I first saw it when I was 13 years old, and I never forgot it. What beautiful piece of work. Wonderfully acted, directed, paced it takes you to the place, involves you, shakes you to the core, inspires you and lets you go on a beautiful note - heroes can be found in the most unusual places, and true heroes goes unsung. On its core, "La vita è bella" is a fairytale, but so captivating, so true, so beautifully told it will leave you with eyes wet. It delivers on every aspect. I saw this movie many times, and every single time it left me speechless. Overall, if you somehow haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor and experience it, that is the only word that sums up this picture. It is very sentimental but that is what makes is so rewatchable. Great movie.

In spite if it's flaws, I consider it a unique masterpiece. See more Read all reviews
