Giuseppe Tornatore’s timeless & heartfelt ode to the power of friendship, the nostalgia of childhood, and the magic of cinema is a must-see for movie lovers everywhere. Following news from his hometown, a filmmaker recalls his youth several years after World War II in the small Italian village, the enchantment he found there in the flickering images at the Cinema Paradiso, and the deep bond he formed with its projectionist. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and featuring an unforgettable Ennio Morricone, Cinema Paradiso is a masterpiece best experienced on the big screen.

“It’s a shining valentine to the movies–full of homages, collages and swooningly romantic Ennio Morricone music–and it gets right at the messy, impure, wondrous way they capture and enrapture us.” – Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times
