Film 42 "Cinema Paradiso" IMDB No. 77

I don't want to hear you anymore, I want to hear about you.


1988 Giuseppe Tornatore
Story of a boy growing up in a Sicilian village told as flashbacks from the now famous film director.
The young boy called Toto has a fascination  for films, he tries all the tricks to get into the local film house the projectionist Alfredo eventually lets him help out.
For the most part it set in the 20's and 30's when the cinema was the focal point of the village, the scenes inside the theater are great and the acting of the young boy is especially good.
I would say this is a bit of a girls film, but watchable and enjoyable enough.
7/10
