A Unique Film With a Chaplinesque Performance
"Life Is Beautiful" is a film that is daring in its attempt to create laughs in the realistic setting of the Holocaust, yet filled with considerable visual comedy  The movie opens in Italy in 1939. Guido (Roberto Benigni) is a carefree drifter with a modest dream of going to the city to open a bookstore.  Guido falls in love with Dora (Ncoletta Braschi, Benigni's wife), who is engaged to a humorless Fascist thug.  Guido wins her heart by sheer persistence and his tireless sense of humor.<br /><br />Guido and Dora marry and have a son, Giosue, but by now Italy has been overtaken by the Nazis, who soon begin rounding up all Italian Jews, including father and son.  Dora insists on going with her family on the train to the work camp.<br /><br />To protect his son from the real horrors of the camp, Guido tries to transform their plight by turning unpleasantries into games, always trying to shield the boy from what really takes place.<br /><br />Benigni won an Academy Award for this film, which stirred controversy because of the conceit of turning the Holocaust -- even in fictional terms -- into a lighthearted comedy, which had never been done before.  The fact that we get to know Guido as a happy-go-lucky clown allows the second half of the movie to work.  Like Chaplin, Benigni has the ability to create big laughs through slapstick and sight gags in one scene, while eliciting pathos in another.  The balance works, as the viewer gets an escalating sense of the inevitable as Guido's games are harder to pass off as frivolity.  In addition to starring, Benigni co-wrote the screenplay and directed.<br /><br />Blu-ray bonus extra include a making-of featurette, Academy Awards TV commercials, and theatrical trailer.
