A famous film director returns home to a Sicilian village for the first time after almost 30 years. He reminisces about his childhood at the Cinema Paradiso here Alfredo, the projectionist, first brought about his love of films. He is also reminded of his lost teenage love, Elena, ho he had to leave before he left for Rome. Cinema Paradiso is one of the most beloved Foreign films of all time! Winner of the 1990 Oscar for Best Foreign Film!

Summary: What's wrong with the new version...
Comment: The undoubted sentimentality of Cinema Paradiso was nicely balanced by the elliptical restraint of the original release; the mundane details of the central tragedy was left unsaid, a teenage love was left unconsummated, (much like the love-stories shown at Cinema Paradiso, thanks to the censoring local priest) deepening Salvatore's loss to the point that it acquired universal application and appeal, and became art.
This courage and restraint has sadly been negated by the addition of the new material, or, more accurately, the material originally deleted. The effect is, to my mind, disastrous, reducing a vibrant, lilting film to a soap-opera which leaves little to the imagination. Now, instead of the poignant yearning of the original we have middle-age stalking, sordid fumbling in a parked car and rehashed declarations of undying love. Fom poetry to tellenovella in one easy step. Che peccato!

Summary: This is the best movie ever!
Comment: I saw "Cinema Paradiso" more than 30 times. Each time I cry like a baby and each time I like it more. It's the best film I ever saw and I'll be seeing it at least 30 more times. Don't miss it!
