I spent a sleepy, lazy afternoon watching Cinema Paradiso on cable and it was definitely worthwhile. A movie that is, to paraphrase a friend, both sweet and tender at the same time. Roger Ebert sums up the appeal: “Yet anyone who loves movies is likely to love “Cinema Paradiso.” This is the story of a boy projectionist living on Sicily in the years after World War II and his substitute father, the real projectionist (powerful performance by Philippe Noiret); this film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film in 1990.
