CineSpotlight on Instagram: "Life is Beautiful (1997): Roberto Benigni’s Guido uses humor and imagination to protect his young son from harsh realities-drawing from his father’s WWII stories and Rubino Romeo Salmonì’s book. Benigni wrote, directed, and starred, keeping 5-year-old Giorgio Cantarini in the dark about the deeper themes by framing it as a fun game —mirroring the film’s theme of shielding innocence. His Oscar win led to that legendary seat-jumping moment. #LifeIsBeautiful #RobertoBen
