Victims of The Holocaust, and placed in a concentration camp, Guido tries to make life bearable for his young son, and those around him.
A fathers love truly can make the most horrendous situation, bearable. This is one of the most original, unique war films of all time, and whilst I know subtitles are a challenge for some, I beg you to stick with it, as it is a truly unique experience.
This powerful film takes you on a rollercoaster journey, elevating you to real highs, then sinking you to painful lows. After a truly fun, amusing start, it changes into something very different, and you get a true sense of the misery The Nazis caused.
Roberto Benigni gives a quite captivating performance as Guido, perfectly cast, he has charm, charisma, he's funny, and able to switch it up in a second.
Wonderful visuals, as you'd expect, it's beautifully well made, produced with flair and style, even the scenes inside the camp.
Quite an experience.
9/10.
