Released in theaters in 1947, Life is beautifula monument of the seventh art acclaimed by AlloCiné spectators with a flattering average rating of 4.3 out of 5, tells the story of George Bailey (James Stewart in one of his best roles), a desperate man who, then that he is thinking of suicide, crosses paths with an angel on a mission on Earth…
And the spectator discovers, amazed, a return to life oscillating between comedy and wonder. Funny, human, dizzying… Life is beautiful is an irresistible fable that hasn't aged a bit.
“Life is beautiful was made neither for jaded critics nor for tired intellectuals. It was my type of film for the people I love.”declares Frank Capra in his autobiography.
“A film for those who feel tired, defeated and discouraged. A film for alcoholics, drug addicts and prostitutes, for those behind prison walls or iron curtains. A film to tell them that no man is a failure.”
2 million entries and a Golden Globe
Nice popular success with nearly 2 million entries in French cinemas, Life is beautifulwhich earned Frank Capra the Golden Globe for Best Director, is a timeless work, a true hymn to life which is even more magical when watched during the holiday season. Isn't the opportunity… great?
