    This is an enchanting love story. An example of hope, faith and devotion to the loved one. It is beautiful, hylarious and touching.

    Benigni is brilliant again; I am no fan of love stories but this was so beautiful and wonderfully told. The movie transcends language so the subtitles are no problem to sit through.

    ...at all! it's so much better if' you're an italian native speaker... like always dialogue gets butchered... and the second time you watch it that much better... so full of poetic beauty, it's reminds you of what life should be about
