Description
"Italian treasure Roberto Benigni is Guido, a charming, bumbling Jewish waiter whose colorful imagination and playful spirit help him to woo a beautiful school teacher (Nicoletta Braschi). The couple marries and has a young son, but before long their idyllic world is threatened by Nazi soldiers who force the family into a concentration camp. Guido must now use his imagination again - this time, to transform his son's tragic new surroundings into a magical wonderland. Championed by critics and honored with seven Oscar nominations, this heartwarming fable is a reminder that even under the most trying circumstances, life truly is beautiful."--Container.
