About this product

Product Information

Conjuring keys and hats out of thin air, Guido (Roberto Benigni), a clever Jewish-Italian waiter, successfully courts Dora (Nicoletta Braschi), a beautiful local woman, in Fascist pre-WWII Italy. His life, however, is turned upside down a few years later when he, Dora, and their young son, Giosué (Giorgio Cantarini), are sent to a Nazi concentration camp. Refusing to give up hope, Guido tries to protect his son's innocence by pretending that their imprisonment is just an elaborate game, with the grand prize being a tank. For years the box-office champ in Italy and the country's most beloved slapstick comic, the Chaplinesque Benigni took a huge risk with LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. Many people worried that the film would be as offensive as plopping a cartoon character in Auschwitz. (A similar work--THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED, a Jerry Lewis film about a comedian in a concentration camp--turned out to be a disaster two decades earlier.) Although LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL did provoke some controversy, many people found the film to be a poignant, tragicomic story that profoundly reaffirmed the humanity of concentration camp victims. The film became the highest grossing foreign language film in the U.S. and established Benigni as an international star.

    Life is Beautiful

    This is a very beautiful movie the fort time I saw it was at the Colege of The Sequoias in where we had to make comments about the movie. It takes place in Germany during the war. They were jews and got married then the Germans come and the get arrested. The husband went one way with his little son and his wife a different way with all women. I’m the meantime the father tells his son they are in a competition but at the end the Germans kill the dad and the Americans won the war he get pick up by an American and he climbs the tank and sees his mother. The movie has funny moments and sad moments it is worth a while to watch the movie. That is why is called Life is Beautiful

    Go out for some pasta instead.

    Good story, lousy execution. Nazi camps never so loosely run. Subtitles are hard enough without having to listen to Italian Roberto Benigni's interminably rapid fire lingo. I have watched very few movies I felt grateful when it ended.

  • La vita e bella is beautiful!

    I never watch a dubbed version of a movie when the original version is available with English subtitles. You miss out on a great deal of the flavour and affect and in this respect you lose a lot in the translation with a dubbed approach. This movie is called "La Vita e bella/Life is beautiful" in the combined Italian/English version and that is how I recommend you purchase it. This is a movie with a lot of potential to teach. It teaches the value of honesty as a way of life in that this can be fully retained when a man is simply acting in a humorous spirit to make life seem more bearable and to spare children an ugly reality that surrounds them. Yet there is a spirit that continues in Benigni's character as a man who'd like to stay sane honestly enough that he will conjure up a version of ...

  • A reminder of Love, Sacrifice an Innocence

    This movie is a must see. Not only did I enjoy it because I am Italian but moreso because it revealed the love that a wife has for her husband; the love a father has for his son and the perservering love that the husband had for the wife. It was a reminder of how sometimes in life we tend to put the stresses of life on our children when that is so unnecessary. Amazingly, this father protects his son's innocence with the game of hide and seek and shelters him from the excruitating circumstances he, his wife and the others were enduring. In this movie the wife gave up her freedom to be with her husband and son; the father hides his pain and suffering so that his son will not suffer. This was a wonderful reminder of how children should be allowed to be children and enjoy the innocence of ...
