Cinema Paradiso

(NUOVO CINEMA PARADISO, Giuseppe Tornatore, Italy 1988, 170 min., Italian with subtitles, 35mm)

An adult filmmaker (played by Winged Migration director Jacques Perrin) recalls his provincial Italian childhood and his friendship with a gruff-but-lovable projectionist (the late, great Philippe Noiret). One of the most beloved of Italian movies, this sentimental and endearing classic is being presented in its original Italian release version. Ennio Morricone’s score received an Academy Award® nomination, and Cinema Paradiso took home the Oscar® for Best Foreign Language Film.
