First time I have seen this movie I was only 13 years old, but I have remembered this movie for years. Life is beautiful is unforgettable movie and first time, when I went to the rental movie store, I knew I just have to watch it again. At first I was little disappointed , when I could not find it, but of course I was looking in wrong section. Finally I found it between internationals movies. It made a big smile on my face , because I was excited to watch it again. At first I though the movie will be with English dubbing, but I was wrong again. It has only English subtitles. Yeah , I know some of us are lazy to read the subtitles through all movie, but please don't be. ... Read the complete review

Title: La Vita è Bella (Life is beautiful) Year: 1997 Director: Roberto Benigni (Subtitles) Intro: I've been a member of dvdsontap.com (now known as lovefilm.com) for a while now, and this has been waiting in my queue for ages. My boyfriend was a bit sceptical when i told him that it was a comedy about the holocaust (what i'd heard from a friend) but we decided to watch it anyway. I'd just like to point out that i usually wait a while before posting reviews of films that i have seen recently, but this one just made me want to tell as many people as possible about it, so i apologise if the review isn't up t my usual standard, ...

Several years ago I remember an Italian actor winning an Oscar and literally jumping for joy on the stage. I'd never seen him before and thought him a funny looking man. That night, the movie he starred in won two other Oscars too, and it was an incredibly popular choice with the audience. The man was Roberto Benigni and the film, which he starred in, directed and co-wrote, was called Life is Beautiful. I made myself a mental note to watch it some day, and I finally got around to it last week. To say that I was glad I did has to be my understatement of 2002. Life is Beautiful (1998) is set in Italy during the Second World War. It stars Benigni as ... Read the complete review

It's the late 1930s and Guido, an easy going Jew, arrives in the Tuscan town of Arezzo, where he dreams of opening a book store. Too finance his dream he gains temporary work as a waiter at a local hotel. Whilst working towards his dream, he meets Dora, a local school teacher who is engaged to a local Fascist official. This doesn't stop him from wooing her with his romantic gestures and humour. Finally winning her affections, they get married and have a son called Giosué. Several years on, and the family are sent to a German-run Concentration Camp where Dora is separated from Guido and their son. Too try and make the harsh surroundings more bearable, Guido ...

I cannot get on with subtitled films, I don’t know if it due to middle-aged eyes, lack of concentration or just plain laziness so it was all the more of a surprise to me when I saw this film and thought it was fantastic. Life is beautiful (La vita e bella)an Italian film with English subtitles has changed my thinking and shown me that it can be worth the effort. Actually I honestly forgot I was having to read them I became so absorbed in the story. I am sure you will have seen this film by now, either at the cinema, in video or on DVD, I have done all three and I think it is fantastic! I saw it first with one of my sons and his wife when they were here ... Read the complete review
