It’s a Wonderful Life (Open Caption)G130 min
Synopsis
It’s a Wonderful Life is a Christmas tradition. Frank Capra’s masterpiece is both tremendous fun and, far from being a saccharine sentimental wallow, this film in a little over two hours manages to run the gamut of human emotions, from total joy to utter despair.
Unquestionably made to give hope to post-war America, the film shows us all the hardships of life in a world shaped by global conflict and economic depression, yet, in a final sublime moment of catharsis, reminds us why every individual matters and why life is worth living. But this is not just a film of its time; over 70 years on, It’s a Wonderful Life not only continues to give comfort, but remains as vital and relevant as ever.
