		Cinema Paradiso is many things- a touching story of a friendship, a wonderful portrayal of a Sicilian village, a loving tribute to the cinema, amongst other things, but the longer cut is I believe the most moving and romantic love story ever.
		The cinema is portrayed as almost being the centre of life in the town Giancaldo in which the film is mostly set.
		Cinema Paradiso has been called sentimental, but in the director's cut it is a darker, deeper kind of sentimentality.

	'Cinema Paradiso'
		Born of director Giuseppe Tornatore's childhood memories, this is a magic lantern in a Sicilian boy's hand, its warm light shed on the riches of life in a poor, stone-built land.
		There are the village women washing their long dark braids in the Giancaldo fountain, the crazy man who thinks he owns the square, the boys tearing up the school stairs, all accepted in that simpler time and space.
		Cinema Paradiso is in Italian with English subtitles and is unrated but suitable for all ages.

	Cinema Paradiso distinguished by superb acting
		Cinema Paradiso, set in a rustic, close-knit Italian village in the 1940s and 50s, opens with Salvatore's mother trying to contact him with news of the death of Alfredo (Philippe Noiret), Salvatore's childhood, father-like friend.
		Together at the Cinema Paradiso, they bring the villagers under one roof to view and experience images of faraway John Wayne westerns, as well as local and familiar ones of a fascist Italy.
		A particularly memorable one is of a couple who begin their romance with a glance from the balcony to the floor seating in the Cinema Paradiso -- we later see them cozily seated together during their courtship, and later again with their squalling child in the theater.

	Cinema Paradiso (Nuovo cinema Paradiso) - Newer Version (1989) - Review - Piddleville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		This version of Cinema Paradiso is broken into three parts — the main character Salvatore as a child, a young man, and finally as an older man (middle-aged).
		Alfredo, the projectionist at the town of Giancaldo's movie theatre, the Cinema Paradiso, and who is the key figure in Salvatore’s life, is seemingly imprisoned.
		In this part of the film, director Guiseppe Tornatore introduces a sexual element — in the films seen in the Cinema Paradiso, in the behavior of the boys of Salvatore’s age, and in Salvatore’s relationship with Elena, though this latter is more romantic in its treatment than sexual.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Cinema Paradiso \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Cinema Paradiso" is at once a love letter to the movies and a tender, unabashedly sentimental coming-of-age story set in a small Sicilian village during the post-war years.
		As a coming-of-age picture "Cinema Paradiso" is more like "Amarcord" than "My Life as a Dog," especially in scenes where the villagers attend movies to participate instead of merely watch.
		"Cinema Paradiso" does not cover unfamiliar territory, but it manages to find its own romantic voice and, like the classic films it celebrates, becomes an enchanting fantasy that should happily spirit away even the toughest cynics.

	[No title]
		Alfredo claims to be the projectionist at Cinema Paradiso more by default than by passion, but recognizes that for Toto, the cinema is in his blood.
		The Cinema Paradiso is also the center of the town's identity.
		The original Cinema Paradiso, released in the U.S. in 1988, was shortened by 51 minutes, cutting much of the love story between Toto and Elena.

	Dan Heller's Movie Review of "Cinema Paradiso"
		Everything that has become Italian film-making clichés can be found in Giuseppe Tornatore's "Cinema Paradiso." Originally released in 1989, and nominated for an Oscar for best foreign-language film, the movie has been re-released today as a directory's cut, with a whopping 57 minutes added, bringing it to only moments shy of three hours.
		Alfredo was the projectionist at the Cinema Paradiso, the only movie theater in the small Sicilian town where Salvatore grew up.
		Both films celebrate the role of cinema - and life itself - and are inherently optimistic in their outlook, if only for the fact that we, the audience, can learn to appreciate the importance of love without the devastation the characters in the film had to suffer.

		Cinema Paradiso tells the story of Salvatore (nicknamed Toto), a boy who grew up fatherless in a small Sicilian village in the forties and fifties.
		Director Giuseppe Tornatore chose to film Cinema Paradiso in his hometown of Bagheria, a worthy setting considering he also wrote the film as what is essentially a semi-autobiographical account of his early life.
		Cinema Paradiso is a foreign film that crosses language barriers to bring its evocative celebration of cinema into the hearts of its viewers.

		A young boy in a small Italian village, where the only pastime is going to the cinema, is overjoyed when the projectionist reveals to him the mysteries of movie making, which begins his life-long love affair with the movies.
		The old cinema has burned down, the new one is glitz and glamour, no longer within the control of the Church, but run for profit by a speculative outsider, a man from mainland Italy.
		He is confident and adept at everything to do with the cinema, but inept at expressing his love for this girl.

	DVD.net : Cinema Paradiso - DVD Review
		At the core of Cinema Paradiso is a film that explores two key relationships of Salavatore’s - his one with Alfredo, and his one with the movies.
		Cinema Paradiso also provides a portrait of small village life; a life that inexplicably revolves in and around the small cinema.
		The release of this digitally remastered Cinema Paradiso to DVD marks the first time this longer version of the film has been available with an English translation, and although I applaud the release of director Giuseppe Tornatore's true vision for the film, I’m afraid my Gen-X attention span was left just a little wanting.

		There is a fire in the cinema, and although Toto risks his own life to save that of his mentor, Alfredo (Phillipe Noiret) is blinded.
		Early in the film, the local priest previews each movie before it's shown to the public, manipulating the power of his office to insist that all kissing scenes be removed.

	Cinema Paradiso: Cinephiles Movie Review
		It begins by constructing a story about a projectionist (Alfredo) and a little boy (Toto) who, after an initial battle of wits, end up as partners at the "Paradiso" movie house that screened a series of classic Hollywood films for its loyal community of movie-magic consumers of all ages and socioeconomic standing.
		Through all this, the film constructs a tragic romance, analogous to the tragic love of a less fortunate Romeo and Juliet, yet nonetheless, a fate that ultimately falls victim to a mere twist of fate.
		It is in the denial of this type of love for its characters that Cinema Paradiso finds the ingredient for making movie romance, and for luring romantics back to the movie theatre.

	Cinema Paradiso Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso is one film that deploys this strategy, melding a time-honored coming-of-age tale with a nostalgic tribute to the early days of cinema.
		The actual plot of Cinema Paradiso plays second stage to the chemistry of Noiret and young Cascio, whose gruff mentor/lovable rapscallion dynamic is irresistible.
		Tornatore's most unique element in his story (which is largely autobiographical) is the parallel between the evolution of cinema and the experiential growth of his characters.

		Cinema Paradiso is the touching story of a boy (Salvatore Cascio) growing up in Sicily during WWII who falls in love with the movies and forms a powerful bond with a wise old projectionist (Philippe Noiret).
		Either way, Cinema Paradiso is still a charming and profoundly touching film, drenched in enough dreamy nostalgia to please even the most diehard romantic.
		'Cinema Paradiso' is the poignant tale of 'Toto' (seamlessly played by three different actors - Salvatore Casico as a child, Marco Leonardi as a teenager and Jacque Perrin as middle age man).
