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.

using bravery & humor to deal with hardship
I got lots of hard laughs from this film. It was neat to learn that his wife in the film is his wife in real-life. The guy is hilarious in how he woos the girl, but he didn't lose his humor even in the face of unspeakable hardship. I will watch it again, and I sent a copy to my dear sister, I liked it so much. Sure wakes the brain up rather nicely : )

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 ...

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 events to keep his audience with him and in good humour. Such characters are always trying for as much real honesty as the situation will allow however they have learned a defensive coping mechanism to telling it like it is. And in this respect perhaps his son at the end has a better view of the world than is justified however fact is that he is being lied to by a man who thinks he is being a better father this way. Its a great story that touches on the travesty and the tragedy of the holocaust, as Italian jews were not spared this fate although many were harbored by good Italians who could not go along with Hitler's madness in this respect.

Life Is Beautiful
One of my favorite movies. It has it all. Spark and excitement, laughter and sadness, love and hate. The cast of characters are delightful and true to life, and real in the sense of what all the Germans did do in their war of hate by eliminating the jews. Roberto Benigni plays a wonderful character and you can't help but fall for him. His wife in this movie and in real life, Nicoletta Braschi fits perfectly in this part and is a joy to watch. The little guy who plays their son is a hoot! A very funny little fellow, who along with Benigni are a blast together. This is an Italian movie and must be read, but DO NOT GET THE ENGLISH VERSION, stay with the Italian or you will lose the effect of their language and accent and just the way they present themselves.

Great Italian Movie
This is a great movie, full of love, laughter and life. Also, a very good way to study the Italian language, which is why I purchased it. A very good value for an effective teaching tool. I highly recommend this movie.

Appropriate movie title A MUST SEE for EVERYONE!
This story is like non other. I let all my kids watch it ages 7 and up. Beautifully filmed and even though this movie is about the holocaust the way it's filmed any age could watch it. Such touching actors and such wonderful Life and humor in the midst of pain. A Must see.
