A celebration of the timeless allure of the big screen, Cinema Paradiso won the 1990 Best Foreign Film Oscar, and, according to Empire, is one of the greatest films of all time.
Director Giuseppe Tornatore “plugged into something vital about the hold movies have on us,” declares Rolling Stone. “Movie lovers will lose their hearts to Cinema Paradiso… for Tornatore’s vigorous demonstration of the enduring power of dreams.”
The New York Times says the film’s “child’s-eye view of the world—a view bursting with wonder, curiosity and longing—feels emotionally authentic” despite projectionist Alfredo’s admonishment to the young, film-driven Toto, “Life isn’t like it is in the movies. Life is harder.”
This film has been a beloved summer staple at The Lindsay since the Theater’s opening in 2017.
