Masterly balance Roberto Benigni gives humor and heartbreak in this film, Life is Beautiful. The story revolves around Guido, a man who uses his wit and imagination to hide the cruelty of a Nazi concentration camp for his son. The cinematic punch lands when Guido sacrifices himself to maintain the illusion of a game for his son in the final act. Joy stands out against the tragedy creating an unforgettable film experience. This Oscar-winning film is nothing but a testament to what the human spirit can be and how love in adverse times can work its charm.
