Roberto Benigni! Hm... from the plot summary this seems to be > quite a way from Robertos usual characters (ref. the italian taxi > driver from "Night on Earth"...). Not really. Actually the plot summaries are pretty bad. The first part is actually a quite funny typically Benigni style film that for some reason plays in Mussolini-era italy and basically introduces the character Benigni is playing, always making fun of things etc. The second part is about "to convince [his son] [the concentration camp] is an elaborate game, a special contest to win a tank" which the second summary has more like an afterthought. This is based on a comment by Primo Levi who said that his first two weeks in Auswitz were like being in a film. This attempt to pass it off as something unreal made the grim reality all the more heavy to me. Jan
