Review of Cinema Paradiso (1988) by Sean W — 22 Feb 2012
A sentimental gem. No one makes an emotional film better than the Italians do, and among the Italians, I'm wondering if Tornatore's the best. This story - a memory of a small-town childhood and its movie theatre experienced by a now successful man who lives in Rome - is a beautiful one, and the only criticism I can throw at it is that it's all rather normal.
Touching slice of life, though, a stirring classic.
