1. Paris - The most powerful message and the best characters
2. Rome - Rib-cracking hilarity just listening to Roberto Benigni
3. New York - Best chemistry between the actors
4. Helsinki - Excellent story, but too slow-paced after all the rest
5. Los Angeles - Easily the weakest, but nevertheless very smart and clever

New York was so funny and touching, Winona was awesome as always in L.A, I felt the other 3 segments were nowhere near as good as the first 2, and the guy in Rome was just annoying to have a whole segment talking to himself, it went on for too long.

but still the film was great

And I thought I'm the only one who liked the L.A.-N.Y. parts the most. Not to be misunderstood, Paris and Rome were also great. And Helsinki probably as well but the Helsinki part, nevertheless, didn't hook with me somehow like the four others... I can watch L.A. and New York over and over again, though (and Benigni's monologue).

I love the chemistry between Ryder and Rowlands ("Sure, Mom!") and above all between Armin Müller Stahl, Giancarlo Esposito and later on Rosie Perez ("It goes good!", "In English, we say, 'It's good to go!'", "DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP!!!").

Rome is maybe better before the bishop enters the taxi. It's great when Benigni just drives and speaks by himself and later makes his confession. "Tum-tata-tum-tata-tuuum!!!" and then the bishop dies (too much for him, poor guy). Benigni rules. Besides, after the bishop dies you can see that the bishop moves his eyes when Benigni is pulling him out of the taxi and places him on the bench.

Paris is also very good, especially when those two arrogant and kinda racist businessmen are his customers. They deserve to be thrown out.

1. Rome: Benigni is completely infectious
2. New York: Helmut was adorable and the brother and sister were great at sparring
3. Paris & Helsinki tied: both nuanced and darkly funny
5. LA: Winona's streetwise character was the weak point - not quite believeable
