i was actually surprised to see he is the director of the movies he is in. i guess no one can really direct that type of comedic talent.he's not a great director, but he does have that great 'italian' sense of poignancy (like fellini).
i loved the movie 'johnny stecchino'. i saw it three times in the theaters in new york. he did a great job of having someone with down's syndrome be a co-star.
'life is beautiful' was a disappointment for this benigni fan, but it did have some truly poignant moments.
i just discovered that he made a movie called 'the monster'. i would like to see it as soon as i can.
