Life Is Beautiful (1998)

Bonjourno, principesa! You know what the problem with Holocaust movies is? They're all so serious! Just lighten up already, like this week's film, Life Is Beautiful, a film that got raked over the coals for doing just that - but won Gold anyways. The movie introduced us to the lovable charm of Robert Benigni and showed us the power of imagination to overcome the odds, no matter how dour and dark. Join Amy and Steve as they discuss the practicalities of imagination, Benigni's famous walk to the podium and why this may have been worthy of an even greater prize at that year's Academy Awards. Thanks for listening. Tune in next week for our tops of 2017!
