About the Event
La Tigre e la Neve (The Tiger and the Snow)
2005
Run time: 1h 54min
La tigre e la neve is a 2005 Italian comedy-drama film starring and directed by Roberto Benigni. Inspired by the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, the film is set in Rome and Baghdad during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and follows the protagonist Attilio as he desperately journeys to Baghdad to save the love of his life, Vittoria, from her impending death.
La tigre e la neve is the last film directed by Benigni. It is a successful romantic comedy, a fairytale about life and death, love and war, happiness and sadness. It has a powerful message for everyone: war transforms life into a real tragedy, but love makes it worthwhile. When people let love blossom, life becomes a fairy tale.
