 ROME (AP) - Like the Oscar-winning "Life Is Beautiful," which tackled the Holocaust, Roberto Benigni's new film, "La Tigre e la Neve (The Tiger and the Snow)," is a comedy set against a tragic backdrop — the war in Iraq.
The movie is an anti-war statement in Benigni's preferred style — a love story driven by the 52-year-old actor-director's exuberant and sometimes slapstick humor.
"If you make a direct argument against the war, it bounces back at you," Benigni said Tuesday as he screened the film in Rome.
