One person on IMDb said: “I have never in my life seen a movie that so truly symbolises its name and its message.

“Roberto Benigni – ‘The Italian Treasure House’ has probably given his viewers his best.

“The story, the performances, the entire theme of a person performing his duties as a husband, as a father is very ‘moving’ and inspiring.

“Life is beautiful as the name goes is about a Jewish man, who falls in love with a non-Jewish lady, marries her, has a kid and who is then taken as a prisoner in a concentration camp along with his wife and kid.

“But the way he protects his kid from the horrors of the genocide, how he always tries to find ways to make his wife and kid smile and laugh, is what makes the movie, a MUST SEE. It is certainly one of the best movies that I have seen.”

Directed by Roberto Benigni, the film is a powerful and heart-wrenching one which captivated audiences worldwide when it was first released.

Today, it has become a “timeless masterpiece” that continues to touch the hearts of viewers to this day, reports say.
