A perfect film about the power and joy of cinema and memory, made by Giuseppe Tomatore in 1988. A winner of multiple awards, this film is accompanied by one of the most luscious and evocative of scores, by Ennio Morricone who died last month.
  • Breaking through anti-arthouse prejudice with its simple love of cinema, this is worth a look even for those who can't stand foreign films. And then there's the exhilarating kiss-clip finale. Full review Ian Nathan, Empire
  • This bittersweet film is a bit slow for teens, but anyone with a true love of cinema who doesn't mind some syrupy moments will be charmed. Full review Scott G. Mignola, Common Sense Media
