Relive Torantore's Italian classic on the big screen

Winner of various awards across the world including the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar®, 5 BAFTAs and the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival, Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso is a love letter to the memory of childhood and enduring magic of cinema. Featuring a breathtaking score from iconic maestro Ennio Morricone, the film is a timeless jewel of classic world cinema and among the greatest Italian films of all time.

Cinema Paradiso tells the story of Salvatore (Jacques Perrin), a successful film director, returning home for the funeral of Alfredo (Philippe Noiret), his old friend who was the projectionist at the local cinema throughout his childhood. Soon memories of his first love affair with the beautiful Elena (Agnese Nano) and all the highs and lows that shaped his life come flooding back, as Salvatore reconnects with the community he left 30 years earlier.
