An international sensation and the most successful foreign language film in U.S. history, the picture earned director-cowriter-star Benigni Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor.
Benigni plays the Jewish country boy Guido, a madcap romantic in Mussolini's Italy who wins the heart of his sweetheart (Benigni's real-life sweetie, Nicoletta Braschi) and raises a darling son (the adorable Giorgio Cantarini) in the shadow of fascism. When the Nazis ship the men off to a concentration camp in the waning days of the war, Guido is determined to shelter his son from the evils around them.
