LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL | LA VITA E BELLA
starstarstarstar
Roberto Benigni makes a risky comedic gambit pay off in this sentimental fable about a father who uses humor to protect his son from the horrors of a concentration camp. Though the film makes a swift, jarring transformation from broad farce to tearjerker about midway through, Benigni's unique charm as a performer and his talent as an old-fashioned storyteller carry the film to a touching conclusion.
