Cinema Paradiso itself possesses enough command and self-conviction to demonstrate that movies can still manage to manifest an alternative universe.

[Salvatore Cascio's] adorabilty-quotient can be a bit hard to take, but this is one of the better pieces of screen moppetry in recent years.

Recent changes to cinema which have seen the projectionist's art sidelined in the digital age add a further layer of poignancy to the magical memories.

Cinema Paradiso is much loved, though I have occasionally been the man in the Bateman cartoon: the reviewer who confessed to finding Cinema Paradiso a bit sugary and the kid really annoying.

Tornatore may have hit a sticky wicket with his subsequent work, but he knew what he was doing here: warning us about the irrational lure of the filmed past, which is to say cinema itself, then ushering us grandly to our seats.

Apr 16, 2013Paradiso is gorgeous film making. A true love story of cinema and how the appeal of an old theatre and its projectionist have on a budding movie lover.John B Super Reviewer

Mar 09, 2013"Cinema Paradiso" is a charming drama about friendship, childhood and the magic of cinema. Philippe Noiret and Salvatore Cascio are the standout performers; they have excellent chemistry during the first hour, which is the film's best part. After that, their friendship is put on hold for a good forty minutes while a sluggish romantic subplot takes center stage. While the romance is touching, it's nowhere near as interesting as the relationship between the two main characters. But even though its greatness is diminished by this, "Cinema Paradiso" is a fantastical experience worth any film lover's time.Stephen E Super Reviewer
