About the film

Winner of the Grand Prix du Jury at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival and the 1989 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, “Cinema Paradiso” is a poignant, tearjerking, ecstatically life-affirming trip through melancholy, joy, art and longing!

This coming-of-age classic explores the power of cinema and nostalgia, told in vivid flashback through the eyes of a film director as he recollects the formative events of his childhood. “Cinema Paradiso” asks how the pull of a home left behind, the residue of youthful yearning for more, and the artist’s drive to create can continuously shape the understanding of oneself. Can we find truth through expression and reflection, through mutable memory, through the metamorphic potential of cinema—its extraordinary synthesis of sound and vision?
