A Comedic drama about a father son relationship set in the the Holocaust is not something that should work at any level.
Yet life is beautiful is funny, moving, tragic, heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
The comedy side of the film feels like an Charlie Chaplin film from the 30s/40s.
This film left me absolutely stunned—a mesmerizing blend of hyper-sexuality and Gothic horror.
The acting is exceptional, with standout performances from Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Bill Skarsgård. Skarsgård is utterly unrecognizable as Count Orlok, delivering a chilling and transformative portrayal. Hoult masterfully embodies a man on the verge of collapse, his terror palpable in every scene. Meanwhile, Lily-Rose Depp gives a strikingly physical performance, seamlessly balancing believability with sheer terror.
The world-building is equally impressive. Most scenes are set…
Extended edition 3/3 done. One of the most complete trilogies of all time.
So much love was put into them and they are just outstanding.
