Synopsis

Salvatore, a famous film director, returns to his hometown for the funeral of the local theater’s film projectionist, Alfredo. He reminisces about his life as a young boy falling in love with cinema.

Our take

One of the most beloved films in modern international cinema, Giuseppe Tornatore’s nostalgic ode to moviegoing and childhood is suffused with an unwavering romanticism. Winner of the Oscar© for Best Foreign Language Feature, Cinema Paradiso is a heartfelt love letter to cinephiles everywhere.
