Italian classic Life is Beautiful rescreened today
Life is Beautiful, the biggest tearjerker in Italian cinema and also one of the highest grossing non-English language film of all time, is to be rescreened today in the theaters across the Chinese mainland in a 4K restoration version.
With a stellar 9.5 out of 10 on Douban, China's answer to IMDb, gathering the country's most finicky audiences, the Italian classic is the sixth highest-rated film on Douban's top 250 movies.
Directed by and starring Roberto Benigni, the comedy-drama tells of a Jewish Italian bookshop owner, who employs his fertile imagination, humor, and love to shelter his son from the dangers around a Nazi concentration camp during World War 2.
