Vita è bella, La (1997) More at IMDb Pro »

The version shown at the Cannes festival in 1998 is slightly different from the original Italian theatrical release: some scenes have been slightly re-edited and a panel has been added at the beginning of the film, showing the phrase "This is a fairy tale", supposedly to avoid controversy over the subject matter.
An English dubbed version of the film has been released in the USA by Miramax on August 28, 1999.
The original Italian theatrical version was 120 minutes long. Benigni later cut 9 minutes out for the american version (removing, among others, all scenes featuring Lidia Alfonsi) and adding a voice over by the adult Giosuè (voiced by Omero Antonutti). This shorter version is the one released on video in Italy.
