a beautiful mess this movie is

why this movie means anything i dont know. it just exists. nothing too complicated happens. just this and that, linear story progression and its over.

Loved spending time in this world with these characters, and then Benigni comes along and steals the whole show.

Watched on Max. It reminds me of all these old Italian movies. I like its simplicity but also the mastery of telling a story. Also it touches a good point: Americans hate each other, immigrants haven’t learned that yet.

beautiful inky b/w visuals + feel-good roberto benigni. everything feels real, but also like a dream. odyssey vibes
