60 of 213 · most liked firstCaine showing everyone their human lives reminds me of the ending to the film Cinema Paradiso; it’s a love letter from Caine showing the humans there’s hope, and that they’re more than their dysfunctions… the ultimate tragedy is that Jax, after his ordeals in the Circus, didn’t see it that way.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cinema Paradiso. Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. Soundtrack, Ennio Morricone. The first time I saw it, just at the moment when the adult Salvatore sits down to view Alfredo's reel of film, I shouted ‘.. it’s the kisses..’ and burst into tears. youtu.be/zuh-X5uXuAM
positive · AI labelView post →'Cinema Paradiso' goes on to win the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in March 1990 and becomes a global phenomenon. Along with 'The Leopard', it is probably the first film that comes to mind when thinking of Sicily, so it seems appropriate that it was 'saved' by a Sicilian >> 6

positive · AI labelView post →Happy #LetterboxdFriday! A pretty great week! Finished off my 1988 films with a bang! I adored Cinema Paradiso and is my film of the week. A cinema trip to see La Cocina was also in store and it looked beautiful, but the kitchen drama felt forced and showy. #LastFourWatched

It’s in theaters next month (and on Netflix in December) and it’ll remind you of everything from Preston Sturges to Cinema Paradiso. Just gorgeous.

neutral · AI labelView post →F for films: Sicily is a beautiful setting for films, though they're often linked to mafia, such as the Godfather (as Camilleri says, a ridiculous film, an "americanata"). The most famous films set in Sicily are probably The Leopard and the wonderful Cinema Paradiso with its tear jerking finale >>
neutral · AI labelView post →Post your favorite film from the year you turned 18. I already posted about John Carpenter's "They Live" the other day, so instead here is another one that I'd willing to call my favorite film of 1988. (Cinema Paradiso is also great.)
positive · AI labelView post →Watched CINEMA PARADISO (1988). Hadn’t seen since it’s release. Set in Sicily. Starts with a clip of Jean Gabin in The Lowest Depths so of course I loved it. More clips of great Italian films. Ends with Jacques Perrin watching a long montage of movie kisses which is surprisingly moving.
