Summary: inlovewithitalia
Comment: when coming home from italy 2 years ago, i watched this movie on the flight twice! I'm fairly selective about what I watch and read and I rarely want to see or read anything more than once. But this film was so wonderful on so many levels, well written, interesting plot, romantic, humorous, stellar actors, filmed in Italia...Anyway, i never knew the name of the movie and stumbled across it accidentally. Amazon had it so i purchased it, something else I rarely do. So, not only have i now seen it 3 times, I own it! That's telling in itself.

Summary: A work of art
Comment: If you love italian and you love Roberto, this is a beautiful lovehis beloved(which is actually is real-life wife) story and comedy mixed together. Watch his face muscles as he speaks to his beloved (who is portrayed by his real-life wife); watch his body language as he rides on various things, and be inspired by his deep faith

Summary: Original and ambitious
Comment: The strengths of this film are its unusual plot and excellent art direction. It is incredibly strong on fantasy, whimsy, and romance, but the screenplay is also quite intelligent and has some funny commentary on psychoanalysis, poetry, and literary criticism. I haven't seen "Life is Beautiful" but apparently Mr. Benigni's special talent is taking a wartime setting such as the Holocaust or the U.S. Invasion of Iraq and using these contexts to underscore the potential of human beings to transcend even the most grim and brutal circumstances. While there is something vaguely troubling to me about Mr. Benigni's premise, I give him enormous credit for taking cinema to new places. I was also put off by the frenetic, obsessive way in which Mr. Benigni's character stalks the female lead, as having been a stalking victim myself, I feel that popular culture far too often romanticizes the type of disruptive, mentally unbalanced pursuit of a love object which should actually be criminalized. Despite all this, I found the film very engaging and poignant overall, with a few good laughs for good measure.

Summary: Heartwarming love story
Comment: Roberto Benigni does it again as the somewhat bumbling character in The Tiger and the Snow. This is not what you would expect from him if you are used to his comedies, but if you have seen Life is Beautiful, then you know what a great actor he is. This is a love story. It is heartwrenching in places when you feel Benigni's frustration at not being able to get his love the help she needs. Not to spoil it for anyone, but the ending where his love sees the necklace is priceless. A must see!

Editorial Reviews:
|
Soon after the start of hostilities in Iraq, Rome-based, lovestruck poet and lecturer Attilio heads to Baghdad when he learns from his friend, an Iraqi poet, that the woman he loves has been critcally injured in a bomb explosion. Attilio does everything in his power to save her, risking his own life amidst the chaos of war. A winning blend of comedy and tragedy, The Tiger and The Snow is also a highly charged polemic against the futility of war.
