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…

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.
"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." ♡
Everything 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

A 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.

Probablemente una de las mejores películas que he visto en mi vida. La trama es perfecta. La historia de los personajes y las pequeñas enseñanzas que dejan los guiones por el camino. La recomendaría ver a cualquier persona con un mínimo gusto del cine.
"Cinema Paradiso" is a timeless masterpiece that beautifully captures the magic of cinema and the nostalgia of childhood. With heartfelt performances and a poignant story, it's an enchanting cinematic experience that lingers in the hearts of viewers.

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.
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.
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]
