Arrow Video Club Presents: CINEMA PARADISO (1988):Upon it's release, director Giuseppe Tornatore’s loving homage to the cinema scooped awards across the world including the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, 5 BAFTA Awards including Best Actor, Original Screenplay and Score, the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival and many more. Cinema Paradiso 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.
