Tigre e la neve, La (2005)

Tigre e la neve, La (2005): Tiger and The Snow

"This film seems to be made for Roberto Benigni's fans. If you didn't like
his previous films, don't bother with this one. The other comment that must be
made is: this is not 'Life is Beautiful'. That film was simply wonderful, and I
don't think it will ever find a match. Regardless this issue, 'La tigre e la
neve' is a very good movie. Benigni continues to show his amazing ability in
order to mix comedy with drama, making the story very interesting and enjoyable.
As a negative issue, we can point out that Benigni is a bit repetitive (it's his
way of communicating), and might be a bit annoying for some people. The plot is
quite simple: a man discovers that the woman he loves is seriously injured in a
hospital in Baghdad, during American invasion in '03. He decides to travel to
Iraq in order to help his loved one. The film has a good script, and is
adequately seasoned with very good photography, music, and an unavoidable
message of hope. Highly recommended for people looking for a story plenty of
romanticism with a conceptually brilliant ending. "


Just watched this movie on Netflix, and it is a beautiful movie. It is Italian, with subtitles, but it is well worth the extra effort. Watch it with that special someone in your life.
