This film was proposed by our members Beatrice Webb

Anna Rose and Noelle Pogue, who writes: I love Cinema Paradiso, for more reasons than i can write'!

Giuseppe Tornatore's loving homage to the cinema tells the story of Salvatore, a successful film director, returning home for the funeral of Alfredo, 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 and all the highs and lows that shaped his life come flooding back, as Salvatore reconnects with the community he left 30 years earlier.

We will be screening the 174 minute director's cut.

Please note, the screening on Tuesday 22 April is our Free Members' Screening, while the one on Tuesday 29 April is a regular public screening.

Cast:
Philippe Noiret, Jacques Perrin, Marco Leonardi, Salvatore Cascio
