Tonight, halfway through my third viewing of Giuseppe Tornatore´s "Cinema Paradiso", I asked myself a question. A question that I had asked myself a hundred times before, but never really known the answer to. "Why do I love cinema?" There are three things that I hold…

At the end of the day, there is nothing in this world better than cinema.

- Sabrina Bondi lovedCinema Paradiso
The story is drawn from the director Giuseppe Tornatore's childhood memories, presented here as a series of loosely-linked episodes commemorating the importance of movies -- of art -- in the lives of people forced to manage on very little.
Paul lovedCinema ParadisoEverything just clicks in this movie: the drama, the comedy, the romance... the story, the chemistry between Toto and Alfredo, the wave of nostalgia, the incredible soundtrack, and that ending, so beautiful and emotional you’re not even sure if it’s happy or sad. Just pure cinema
Kareem likedCinema Paradiso"There's no future, Salvatore. Only the past. Even what happened yesterday is only a dream, a marvellous dream. I couldn't have hoped for a better ending." ♡

Aidan White lovedCinema Paradiso9.5/10 this movie is absolutely beautiful and relays the human experience so well - this film makes me nostalgic for a time period that I never even lived it - tells the story of a persevering love stretched across decades and socioeconomic boundary lines, all set in the back drop of the origin of…
Pietro likedCinema ParadisoA big italian classic, which tells the story of a boy, who like so many others in the 1960s, had to leave his small town and had to change his life. Salvatore's story is full of melancholy joy and hope in love and future and is accompanied by a beautiful Morricone's soundtrack.
- Fahad lovedCinema Paradiso
One of the most beautiful emotional movies I’ve ever seen in my life. I thought Italian movies weren’t good enough, but this movie changed everything. The story is amazing, and honestly, I have to applaud the director for choosing the characters. Alfredo and Toto were amazing
Mateo likedCinema ParadisoA beautiful film about the love of cinema and how a place preserves memories. It showed how one place has a different impact in different stages of life. The score was incredible and really amplified the emotions of the movie. It had humor, romance, and cruel reality. 7.5/10
Lukraina lovedCinema ParadisoContains all the necessary elements that every movie should have. Great character developments, plot twists, director’s vision, romance, side characters, comical aspect, dramatic culmination. Always had a smile on my face throughout the whole movie. Love it.

Universal acclaim based on 209 Reviews
If ever a movie came from the heart, it was Giuseppe Tornatore's nostalgic Cinema Paradiso (1988) now getting a rerelease to celebrate its silver jubilee.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Originally a two-part film running about three hours, this treacle has been reduced by almost a third, though it still seems to run on forever -- a bit like life but much less interesting.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
Remain open to fantasies but not be consumed by them. These are good lessons for a would-be director. They are good lessons for everybody. And no recent movie has taught them with more patient sweetness. [Feb. 5, 1990]
