Hot Tickets in Pittsburgh with Sean Collier: June 29-July 5

Cinema Paradiso

Thursday, July 2, Also Sunday, July 12, Lindsay Theater

The wistful and lovely Italian drama Cinema Paradiso, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1989, surrounds a beloved, small-town movie theater. What better place to see it than at a beloved, small-town movie theater?

Cinema Paradiso is a favorite of Sewickley’s Lindsay Theater; make the trip to the village with time to spare so that you can grab a glass of wine at Lula beforehand.

If you’re seeing the film for the first time, simply get swept up in the tale; if it’s already a favorite, use this viewing as a chance to focus on Ennio Morricone’s remarkable score.
