Winner of the Grand Prix at the 1998 Cannes, as well as three Academy
Awards, Life if Beautiful is a film about love and the indomitable
human spirit as seen through the lens of the Holocaust. Guido is a charming
Jewish waiter whose colorful imagination helps him to woo a beautiful
schoolteacher. They soon start a family, but their idyllic world is threatened
when Nazi soldiers force them into a concentration camp. Guido must now use his
imagination again to save his family from an
unthinkable fate. (Italy, 1997,
