More Detail:
In LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, comic genius Roberto Benigni stars, writes and directs a modern fable about a Jewish man who helps his family survive the horrors of the Holocaust during World War II. In the endearing, hilarious first half of the movie, Roberto plays Guido, who humorously woos and marries a Roman Catholic schoolteacher, Dora. In the harrowing, heartbreaking second half of the movie, set in a concentration camp, Guido uses his wit and imagination to protect the life and innocence of his son Joshua and to reach out to his beloved Dora imprisoned in another building.
