Cinema Paradiso was suggested for our 3rd birthday celebrations by Garden Cinema member Noelle Pogue.

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.

Please note, we will be screening the 174 minute director's cut.

This screening will finish at 18:04.

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