About this product

Product Information

A nostalgic look at a young boy's coming-of-age in postwar Italy and his fascination with a small local cinema, CINEMA PARADISO from director Giuseppe Tornatore is a famed and beloved classic. "Alfredo is dying." Those words jolt the successful filmmaker Salvatore (played as a child by Salvatore Cascio, as a teen by Marco Leonardi, and as an adult by Jacques Perrin), into contemplating his childhood and the hours he spent in the projection booth of his adored local movie theater, Cinema Paradiso. Alfredo (Philippe Noiret), owner of the moviehouse, befriended and encouraged young Salvatore, known as "Toto" as he grew up in his small Sicilian home town, ravaged by the horrors of the war. The cinema offered escape and fantasy to the townspeople, including Toto's mother, a grieving war widow. In one breathtaking scene a popular comedy is projected onto the walls of the town square and the entire town glows in the dreamy light of projected celluloid, washing away the harsh realities of poverty and grief. As Toto grows to manhood, his friendship with his mentor deepens. With the love and guidance of the aging man, Toto navigates the trials of first love and builds on his ever-growing passion for the cinema. Ultimately, it is Alfredo who convinces Toto to leave his village to pursue his dreams of becoming a director. But as Salvatore thinks back on his youthful romances and his innocent love of movies, he comes to realize that perhaps his success has come at a very high price. A beautifully filmed tribute to the power of movies that captivated an entire generation of filmgoers, CINEMA PARADISO is an unforgettable masterpiece.

    Beautiful Foreign Film

    A great foreign film with beautiful cinematography and performances. The original version has less of the lead character's romantic life as an adult.

    wonderful film

    My husband so this in the theater in Toronto when it was first released. This is the directors cut and it was wonderful. There was about an hour of film he had not seen. The little boy in this film is beyond adorable.

    Highly recommended and compelling movie experience.

    The acting, the story, the cinematography, the music score are all very good. The film did win an Oscar for best foreign picture and I have no doubts why, coming from someone who normally doesn't care for foreign "artsy" films. I watched the extended edition side of the DVD and do plan on watching the theatrical release side this weekend. The DVD came in a decent hard shell case and was shipped promptly and safely when ordered. Highly recommended.

    original format missing

    Unfortunately, I only received the extended version. The original version of this movie was not in the cover. Still it is a great movie for a good price.

    If Cinema Paradiso isn't the most beautiful film...the most beautiful love story ever told, I don't know what is.

    Please do not let the fact that Cinema Paradiso is spoken in Italian with English subtitles keep you from seeing this gorgeous film. The director's cut, which brings the story to it's beautiful and satisfying end is unforgettable. A story about a boy growing up in post-WW2 Sicily, loving the movies, his relationship with the local theater's projectionist who becomes a father-figure and his search for his long-lost first love will touch your heart and stay with you forever. I know I will never forget this perfect film.
