BEIJING, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) -- Oscar-winning Italian comedy-drama film "Life Is Beautiful" hit Chinese theaters with a 4K version Friday.
Directed by and starring Roberto Benigni, who also co-wrote the story, the film revolves around a Jewish Italian bookshop owner who employs his fertile imagination to shield his son from the horrors of internment in a Nazi concentration camp.
The film won numerous awards, including the 1999 Oscar for best actor, best foreign-language film and best original score.
Known in Italian as "La vita e bella," the film has never been released on the Chinese mainland before.
