The love triangle between a boy, a man, and a cinema is framed in Giuseppe Tornatore’s 1988 masterpiece “Cinema Paradiso”. Winning the academy award for Best Foreign Language Film and just as lauded for its melancholic score (Ennio Morricone), “Cinema Paradiso” is full of a timeless nostalgia that celebrates cinema in its purest form.
A story that is as much about loss as love “Cinema Paradiso” reconciles the pain of loss and the desire to linger in the past with the joy of these memories. Coming to terms with what could have been and celebrating what was, is the gift that Tornatore offers in this film of heartbreak and reconciliation.
