    pleasant surprise

    chiedimi se sono felici has been a very pleasant surprise to me. it's a very good comedy, of a very smart humor, reviewing a dramatic situation that maybe everyone has been through. it's very funny without being silly or stupid, and without loosing the dramatic and sad part of live. even in that, it's very diferent from "la vitta e bella".
