Rent Cinema Paradiso (aka Nuovo Cinema Paradiso) (1988)


Cinema Paradiso tells a story of Salvatore (nicknamed Toto), a young boy who grew up fatherless in a small Sicilian village in the forties and fifties. Now a successful film director, he returns home for the funeral of Alfredo, his old friend who was projectionist at the local cinema throughout Salvatore's childhood. Soon memories of his first love affair with the beautiful Elena, and all the highs and lows that shaped his life, come flooding back as Salvatore reconnects with the community he left 30 years earlier.

Cinema Paradiso (aka Nuovo Cinema Paradiso) review by Mike Marriott

Beautiful

One of those films that quite genuinely leaves you feeling moved. Lovely little stories, and the acting was very good, particularly from the little boy character. The alternate ending, with it's extra 47 minutes, makes a lot of sense and adds a real something to the film - make sure you make time to watch it. Not quite sure how I'd improve it; perhaps the link between past and present was a little banile, but only a minor criticism really. Well worth renting.

Cinema Paradiso (aka Nuovo Cinema Paradiso) review by JD

Classico

This is an Italian film of beauty and gentle nostalgia. It is not sophisticated or dramatic and I enjoyed it for that. The characters are played lovingly and I was completely immersed in the charm of this quirky Italian village. It is well worth adopting as a company's brand name.
