Cinema Paradiso
A filmmaker revisits his childhood in the Italian countryside, where he first fell in love with the movies...
A grizzled old projectionist takes pride in his presentation of screen dreams for an Italian town still recovering from World War II. When a child demonstrates fascination not only for the films, but the behind-the-scenes work of presenting them to an audience, it sparks a lifelong friendship.
Giuseppe Tornatore's beautiful 1988 film about a little boy's love affair with the movies won a host of international awards, including Oscar for Best Foreign Film and a Special Jury Prize at Cannes.
