Cinema Paradiso is a movie for people who love movies. It’s the story of a kid who works in a movie theatre in a small town in Italy and grows up to become a filmmaker. One of the best unapologetically nostalgic stories ever told on film (it reminds me of Radio Days, Woody Allen’s homage to Amaracord). This expanded version of the film is an improvement over the original North American release and will definitely please anyone who is already a fan.
