official description

The ultimate love letter to the movies, Giuseppe Tornatore's heartwarming tale follows famous filmmaker Salvatore (Jacques Perrin) as he returns to his small Sicilian hometown and reminisces about his childhood, especially his time spent with Alfredo (Philippe Noiret), the rumpled projectionist at the local movie theatre. Very much the social heart of the community, the cinema was where a young Salvatore first learned of action, adventure, friendship and (of course) the mysteries of amore. A film about love both romantic and cinematic, Cinema Paradiso is a warm and affectionate tribute to the many ways in which the movies shape our lives.
