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.
