Playing in the camp, forgetting in history.
Is it possible to laugh in the shadow of the chimneys of Auschwitz, or does the attempt to find beauty and hope in the heart of a tragedy like the Holocaust end in the distortion of history and the calming of the collective conscience? The film "Life is Beautiful" by Roberto Bennini, since its release, has been a field of debate between the admirers of paternalistic resistance and the critics of historical reductionism. Bennini mixes comedy and tragedy to tell the story of the power of the imagination against the killing machine, but this emotional masterpiece confronts serious and unresolved questions at the level of historical memory and analysis of the structure of fascism.
