If you loved The Star Maker, try Cinema Paradiso
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Star Maker, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Cinema Paradiso is
Sicilian village, summer, a projector whirring. A young boy sits in the dark, watching, as a projectionist threads film. Tornatore sentimentalizes the roots of cinephilia.
