Life Is Beautiful

An imaginative Italian bookseller falls in love, starts a family, and builds a joyful life. When war and persecution tear that life apart, he uses humor and an elaborate story to protect his young son from the frightening reality surrounding them.

My take

You may appreciate this if you enjoy bittersweet stories that blend comedy with tragedy, such as Jojo Rabbit; Not for you if you prefer strictly realistic treatments of historical atrocities or dislike broad, theatrical humor.
