		Roberto Benigni's comic fable about one family's struggle to survive in a Nazi concentration camp is in offensively poor taste.
		Benigni is more admirable for his dedication to the film comedy he loves than he is as an exemplar of that tradition.
		Benigni also lacks the effortless precision of the great physical clowns, and the manic spark beneath their surface calm.
