It's A Wonderful Life
Feel-Good Festive Film
Frank Capra’s masterpiece, in little over two hours, manages to span all 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.
