Wolff Movie Index

Cinema Paradiso(1988)

Wolff rating: UNSURPASSED

Plot summary: Boy learns the ins and outs of life from a projectionist in a small town in Italy.

Biased, pithy comments: An incredibly nostalgic, happy-sad movie, {\it Paradisio} is wonderful. It is moving, touching, yet moves with the grace of time itself. I'm really unable to say much more, but suffice to say I had tears in my eyes. Absolutely amazing.

Other Notes: In Italian with subtitles, but you don't mind. Should not be seen in a lighted room or with more than one other person. Feel nostalgic on your way in for full effect.

How many times I have seen it: x2

Starring: Marco Leonardi, Atonella Attili, Enzo Cannavale, Jaques Perrin.
Directed by: Giuseppe Tornatore
