Story Synopsis:
Winner of three Academy Awards®, Life Is Beautiful is the acclaimed story of charming but bumbling Guido (Benigni) whose colorful imagination and ability to make the world a magical place becomes doubly important when the ugly realities of World War II threaten the serene lives of Guido and his beloved wife (Braschi) and adorable son (Cantarini). It is only the second movie to be nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film (“Z,” 1969).
