I saw Jakob the Liar over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Its tone is not the slapstick humor of Life is Beautiful and one
does not need to suspend disbelief as much. Indded, the tone is closer to Schindler's List. It raises significant
philosophical questions on the benefit of lies and the importance of hope, even if I don't necessarily agree with the
answers given. Most surprisingly, Robin Williams played a character who was more than just a repressed adolescent,
as in Patch Adams or Jumanji.
