Review of Cinema Paradiso (1988) by Raja N — 19 Dec 2009
I've spent a very sad afternoon after watching Cinema Paradiso.....I'm still feeling down from it.....and for a film to touch you that way, it's got to be a masterpiece. There's nothing that special in the plot, there's nothing special about anything in the movie really but there's something mysterious that really stuns you completely.
Maybe it's that mindblowing score by Morricone...I don't know. It just feels I watched something really magical and I doubt experience it another time. I'm unable to write a good accurate review because the experience of watching cinema paradiso was so weird.
...What definitely shook me was Philippe Noiret and Ennio....Ennio again.....pullin off some music to move anyone's cold feelings. This film is one of the simplest ever made, yet it's one of the most perfect, and shouldn't be missed by anyone.
If there was ever a definition of "masterpiece" it should be linked to "Cinema Paradiso".
