Already honored at the Cannes Festival, Roberto Benigni's Life is Beautiful went on to win three Oscars in Hollywood. It is just recognition for an Italian comedy which doesn't shy away from taboo subjects, and deals with the most tragic of themes with humor and irony. An expression of Italian genius, capable of laughing under all circumstances, Italian film comedy since the 50s has dramatized daily life and the worst abnormalities in films that were funny, warm yet cruel. With the participation of Roberto Benigni, Vincenzo Cerami, Vittorio Gassman, Nino Manfredi, Mario Monicelli, Dino Risi, Furio Scarpelli, Ettore Scola.
