...have it any other way, for even a hint of the truth about the Holocaust would crush his comedy and reduce to absurdity his "fable" about a man named Guido making a sort of hide-and-seek game out of camp life, diverting his four-year-old son (Giorgio Cantarini) from its harshness and encouraging him to lie low. The idea, of course, is to save the boy from the gas chamber, where the young, the old and the sickly--all those who can't work--are automatically sent...
Marital bliss is interrupted a few years later when Guido, Dora and their son Giosue (Giorgio Cantarini, a wonderfully precocious little actor) are taken to a Nazi concentration camp three months before the end of the war. One would expect the film to sober up at this point, and it does, but it never sacrifices the lyricism and humor which are integral to both the story and to Guido's personality. There are a few truly harrowing scenes, but the violence and politics are largely external to the story--Benigni assumes that we know all that already, and the film...

...rush to dress the stars was more frantic than ever, to the point where Escada made fabric especially to match nominee Gloria Stuart's eyes. But most celebs played it safe, which made ROBIN WILLIAMS' suit--he quipped that it came from "the Giorgio Armani Amish collection"--look all the more stylish. ROD STEIGER went for the minimalist T shirt and jewelry look, apparently unaware that this works only on people with near perfect bodies, like MINNIE DRIVER, who wore a "take that, Matt Damon" Halston. MADONNA mixed designers, but oops, they didn't match...
