As their friendship grows, so does Salvatore. Growing older with his good friend and the movies he adores, he learns from them both how to court his first love. He also dreams of making his own films one day.
When the day comes for Salvatore to leave the village, Alfredo makes him promise to never look back, just to keep moving forward. Salvatore does just this – for 30 years. Until one day, a message arrives that beckons him back home…..

Cinema PAradiso is a completely disarming Italian movie. It is about dreams and growing and the power of the cinema. The story is told in flashback as a man recalls his childhood where he spent most of his time in the cinema with the crusty projectionist and the way the cinema shaped his dreams and his reality. Beautifully told and brilliantly acted its sweet without ever descending into sickly sweetness.
