I'm one of those who felt that ''Cinema Paradiso'' wasn't worthy of its Oscar. I found it good (3 stars out of 5), but not that great. I dout 50 min added to the film can makes such a difference.Tornatore latest, Malena, is much better, one of the best of last year and one of a few non violent film I enjoy. Starring that big breast Monica Bullici, who also appear in 2 films right now, Asterix and Irreversible.
not as good than it first looked..prove ? look at the other films,he have made...the most terrible one, was" The Boat Piannist"
or how do you call it in English ?
I didn't say Cinema Paradiso wasn't good (3.5 stars out of 5 is more realistic), it wasn't good enough to give it a oscar for the best foreign picture.Malena, there's just a minority who didn't like it. Read the review at www.imdb.com, most of them agree with me that Malena is a excellent movie (4.5 stars).
BTW, there's a film very similar to Cinema Paradiso: Shadow Magic, which is a really good film and won some award for best picture (4 stars):
Beijing, 1902: an enterprising young portrait photographer named Liu Jinglun, keen on new technology, befriends a newly-arrived Englishman who's brought projector, camera, and Lumière-brothers' shorts to open the Shadow Magic theater. Liu's work with Wallace brings him conflict with tradition and his father's authority, complicated by his falling in love with Ling, daughter of Lord Tan, star of Beijing's traditional opera. Liu sees movies as his chance to become wealthy and worthy of Ling. When the Shadow Magic pair are invited to show the films to the Empress Dowager, things look good. But, is disaster in the script? And, can movies preserve tradition even as they bring change?

Even if they would put 10 stars ( Think of " From Hell " ) it would change anything....this film is inconsistent...but, of course Monica is beautiful....
Shadow magic, sounds good and even if I am afraid of your cinema taste...I will order it.
Cheers.

Despite what Patrick describes as "painful", this is quite a good little film about a person born on a liner in 1900. (He is found abandoned under a dining table by one of the stokers who was scavenging for dropped valuables/stogies).The child is raised on board, and has a unique talent for the piano. He becomes the pianist for the ship's band, and his amazing ability creates a strange legend about the world's greatest pianist who has never set foot on land.
The piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton is a highlight.
It is an Italian production, but the script is entirely in English.
Tim Roth is very good as the lead, and worth seeing.
this film an absolute failure ?
Considering that you and me are the only ones who have seen it.As for "cross- eyed", did you mean Max the trumpet player ? I think he has a lazy eye.
I liked the soundtrack too- Morricone as usual.
He was looking for an expression.. lazy eye, that´s it ! Thank you !
I really think his films are all fakes... they duplicated emotions that in reality he do not feels...Because of the good play of actors and others benefic factors , he can diverted from his real failure.
Morricone has long lost his touch...
Too bad, we are the only one, here, to discuss the fil..but as we are of absolutely different point of view, it can be fun, too !
Yes,that must be it...this actor telling this story with his yes crossing..two hours long the most " penible " thing I ever had to endure in a movie..
