If you loved The Tiger and the Snow, try Life Is Beautiful

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Roberto Benigni, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Tiger and the Snow, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Life Is Beautiful is

1930s Italy, sun-drenched piazzas, accordion music. A carefree Jewish bookseller woos a schoolteacher, they marry, have a son, and are deported to a concentration camp. Roberto Benigni's fable is a poignant blend of comedy and tragedy.
