What Cinema Paradiso Is About
Giuseppe Tornatore's 1988 film follows Toto, growing up beside the projectionist in a Sicilian town. He returns years later at news of a death. The narrative turns back to childhood. The film makes cinema itself its real subject; the narrative holds censorship and loss inside the same story and gives back the cut scenes at the close. It won the Academy Award for foreign language film. Ennio Morricone wrote the score. Two versions of different lengths exist, and the longer cut is more bitter. Who it's for: those who like films about cinema and emotional drama. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a fast pace; the film moves slowly.
