LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
When an open-minded Jewish librarian faces the discrimination and inhumane brutality of the Nazis, he uses a mixture of will, humor, and imagination to protect what he can. This film is not about Nazis and Fascists directly, but about the human spirit. It is about rescuing whatever is good and hopeful from the wreckage of dreams. It is About hope for the future and the necessary human conviction, or delusion depending on your perspective, that things will be better for our children than they are right now. |
