CINEMA PARADISO: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT - A Special 20th Anniversary Screening February 22, 2009

Before you catch the 81st annual Academy Awards telecast on Sunday night, experience one of the greatest films ever made about the rapturous love of movies when The Loft presents a special 20th Anniversary Oscar Day screening of Guiseppe Tornatore's CINEMA PARADISO: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT, winner of the 1989 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film! Originally released to worldwide acclaim in 1989, this international sensation, a nostalgic look at a young boy's coming-of-age in postwar Italy and his fascination with a small local cinema, was re-released to arthouse theaters in 2002 in a new Director's Cut version featuring deleted footage that expands the epic scale and emotional power of the original cut. Now see it again, on The Loft's big screen where it belongs!
