Italy's rubber-faced funnyman Roberto Benigni accomplishes the impossible in
his World War II comedy Life Is Beautiful: he shapes a simultaneously
hilarious and haunting comedy out of the tragedy of the Holocaust. An
international sensation and the most successful foreign language film in U.S
. history, the picture also earned director-cowriter-star Benigni Oscars for
Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor. He plays the Jewish country boy
Guido, a madcap romantic in Mussolini's Italy who wins the heart of his
sweetheart (Benigni's real-life sweetie, Nicoletta Braschi) and raises a
darling son (the adorable Giorgio Cantarini) in the shadow of fascism. When
the Nazis ship the men off to a concentration camp in the waning days of the
war, Guido is determined to shelter his son from the evils around them and
convinces him they're in an elaborate contest to win (of all things) a tank.
Guido tirelessly maintains the ruse with comic ingenuity, even as the
horrors escalate and the camp's population continues to dwindle--all the
more impetus to keep his son safe, secure, and, most of all, hidden. Benigni
walks a fine line mining comedy from tragedy and his efforts are pure
fantasy--he accomplishes feats no man could realistically pull off--both of
which have drawn fire from a few critics. Yet for all its wacky humor and
inventive gags, Life Is Beautiful is a moving and poignant tale of one
father's sacrifice to save not just his young son's life but his innocence
in the face of one of the most evil acts ever perpetrated by the human race
