About
You can stream Life Is Beautiful (1997) on Paramount+ with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
A touching story of an Italian book seller of Jewish ancestry who lives in his own little fairy tale. His creative and happy life would come to an abrupt halt when his entire family is deported to a concentration camp during World War II. While locked up he tries to convince his son that the whole thing is just a game.
A heartbreaking historical tragedy transforms into a whimsical game of make-believe to shield a child from the horrors of a concentration camp. This unlikely blend of slapstick humor and profound sorrow creates a viewing experience that is as devastating as it is life-affirming.
