Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
THE LEGEND OF 1900
La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano
Synopsis
When down-and-out jazzman Max discovers the only remaining recording of 1900—a virtuoso pianist named after the year he was born—he sets out to find him. However, 1900 was raised on a steamship and never once set foot on the land, and strangely, everyone seems to have forgotten about his existence.

Our take
A seaborne adventure from the director of Cinema Paradiso, The Legend of 1900 is a quixotic fantasy mounted at vast scale. With an exuberant lead performance from Tim Roth, this romantic collision of Titanic and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an epic of remarkable imagination and ambition.
