[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 226028, member: 33"] [B]Cinema Paradiso (1988)[/B] I was thinking about this film yesterday when I heard that Ennio Morricone, who wrote the score for it, had died. I hadn't seen this film since the first time I watched it back in the 1980s when Channel 4 in the UK used to screen foreign language films on Saturday evenings. There are 2 versions of this film, the original theatrical cut and the significantly longer director's cut. I had originally seen the director's cut so this time I watched the other version. Although I liked the film when I first saw it, I loved it second time around and it's a good example of a film where the director's cut is inferior. It's a beautiful film, telling the story of a young boy and the 4 loves of his life: films, the Paradise Cinema, Alfredo the projectioner and a girl called Elena. Whereas the director's cut dwelled more on his relationship with Elena, the theatrical cut left the focus more on his relationship with Alfredo which was far more interesting. The final scene when he watches the film that Alfredo left him after he died is a real tearjerker. A classic of Italian Cinema and the music is stunning.
