Cinema Paradiso

Giuseppe Tornatore’s loving homage to the magic of cinema, starring Philippe Noiret and Enzo Cannavale, tells the story of Salvatore, himself a successful film director, returning home for the funeral of Alfredo, his old friend and projectionist

at the local cinema throughout his childhood. Soon memories of his first love affair with the beautiful Elena and all the highs and lows that shaped his life come flooding back, as he reconnects with the community he left thirty years earlier.
