Yes, I have. It is definitely one of the best Italian films ever made, and given the cinematic history of that country, with film-makers like Antonioni, Bertolucci, Zefferelli, Pasolini, Fellini, de Sica and Tornatore, thats no mean feat!
Benigni instils a warmth in the first half of the film. You really love the character as he attempts to woo his "Principessa" played by Benigni's real life wife Nicoletta Braschi. Then in the second half of the film, they are all taken to Concentration camps and split so that Roberto is with his son. There are still laughs in this half, but many more tearful moments.
Benigni has made a film which captures the horrors of the holocaust more than Schindler's List, in my opinion, because it is a lot more personal.
I have to go and watch it now.... bye!

I caught the second half of it once and it had me bawling my eyes out (especially when his son witnesses him being taken away by the guards). I plan to watch the whole thing one day, but it was so upsetting I've not got round to it yet. Roberto Benigni (was that the director's name, I can't remember) is a genius.

I really loved it, it broke my heart at the end, I didn't expect that to happen. I keep trying to get my friends to watch it but they are all put off because it is a foreign film, but I think I will start a new campaign - everyone should watch this film it is wonderful

Yes I love it but it made me cry at the end. Nobody warned me what was going to happen and I HATE that.
