The Cinema Has No Boundary, It Is A Ribbon Of Drea

*** This review contains spoilers ***Giuseppe Tornatore’s Cinema Paradiso is the ultimate movie lovers’ movie. A film which perfectly captures the obsessive and domineering power cinema has over its dedicated fans and their lives. In the manner of how the picture’s protagonist Toto becomes enchanted and engulfed by the movies, Cinema Paradiso is a movie which succeeds in doing just that. ... read more

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 90’s (1884 movies items)

" A boy who grew up in a native Sicilian Village returns home as a famous director after receiving news about the death of an old friend. Told in a flashback, Salvatore reminiscences about his childhood and his relationship with Alfredo, a projectionist at Cinema Paradiso. Under the fatherly influence of Alfredo, Salvatore fell in love with film making, with the duo spending many hours discussing about films and Alfredo painstakingly teaching Salvatore the skills that became a stepping stone"

Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era (389 movies items)

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★ NOTES: A rare, recently unearthed archive print from back in the day, that made it to 2022 all scratched and tattered. A dozen frames are lost, the changeovers are severely damaged, the sound is completely roughened and the bottom borders on less than half the shots were clearly visible, and it wasn’t even projected off position. It was a heavenly thing to witness. Behind all the ruin is a picture so vivid and sharp you’d think it was the original. The greatest"

One of the best and most moving films of the 80s

“As a big lover of film, I am still kicking myself for not seeing this masterpiece any sooner. To me, Cinema Paadiso is one of the best films of the 80s and also the most moving, particularly in the final hour.I have seen many visually stunning films, and Cinema Paradiso is up there as one of the most visually ravishing films I've seen. The cinematography and editing are outstanding, and the scenery still looks gorgeous with an epic feel to it. Cinema Paradiso, alongside The Good, The Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West, also contains one of Ennio Morricone's most haunting scores and it is also one of my favourites of his.Cinema Paradiso is immaculately directed, has an touching, beautifully-written and honest script and a rich, compelling story that while it has an elegiac fe” read more
