Roberto Bengini's Life is Beautiful has been highly acclaimed; winning Oscars for best foreign film, best picture, and best soundtrack plus many awards all over the globe. Louise Katainen's article from National Forum brings to light some of the controversy behind the film's success. Katainen mentions some of the criticism about the film that 'dares to laugh in the face of the unthinkable.' She goes on to talk about Benigni's influences. He has had "a great deal of pleasure and fulfillment from making people laugh." But does his artistic talents justify his portrayal of the Holocaust?
