This is a wonderful Italian movie that I saw many years ago and was delighted to see it listed on Zip.ca. The story of the innocence of a young boy and the relationship with the projectionist. It also shows the people of a small Italian town in, I think, the 1950's.Don't miss it!Maybe the best movie ever! - lotsofmovies
This is such an utterly charming movie, I think I've seen it about five times. It is beautifully directed, heartbreakingly acted, and quite funny. It takes us back to the golden age of cinema, and the magic of childhood, while cataloguing life in a tiny Italian town. It's definitely worth a see or a see-again!Great Movie - M&M1
This is a great movie with an incredible soundtrack. The movie follows a young boy and his fascination with movies and his friendship with the projectionist of the small town's movie house. The movie is a bit depressing at times but it really is an instant classic. This is one of my favourite foreign films.
