A new film by Academy Award winner Roberto Benigni , writer, director, and star of Life Is Beautiful
The Tiger and the Snow is about a Roman poet and lecturer named Attilio (Benigni) who feels compelled to head to Baghdad when he discovers that the woman he loves, Vittoria (Nicoletta Braschi) has been seriously injured during a bomb explosion. Moving heaven and earth, he manages to get to Iraq, and through a combination of luck and pig-headedness, and inspired by his passionate love of Vittoria, he finds the hospital where Vittoria has been taken. Unconscious, and more dead than alive, the woman of his dreams is in need of a drug that will relieve the pressure of the cerebral edema that is killing her. Given that there is nothing immediately available, Attilio goes off into the city in search of the drug - to find only abandoned pharmacies and ruins. Refusing to abandon hope, Attilio must confront the horrors and disasters of war to save the love of his life.
DVD Features: - Interviews of Roberto Benigni, Nicoletta Braschi, and Jean Reno - Making of Featurette - Extra Scenes
absolutely gorgeous movie. dreamlike sequences and real struggles. tom waits is in it too! the subtitles are somewhat fast in bits, but the acting is superb and dubbing it would have slaughtered it, so its worth it to hear the original voices. i have not seen any other movies to compare this to, its an absolutely original experience. try it out!
