WOW !!! This has definitely just made it into my top 5 favourite films of all time :) There was something so beautiful and magical about this film that I was captivated from the first second till the last. It tells the life story of Salvatore Di Vita and his passion for film. The actor who plays Salvatore as a young boy is absolutely adorable and a really great little actor. The film is set in Sicily, Italy and is centred around a little old cinema. The man who works in the cinema showing the films, Alfredo befriends Salvatore and teaches him how to operate the projector. This film is very emotional and touching and will possibly move you to tears. Has some funny moments but others that will have you on the edge of your seat with tension. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone aged 13+ because it has a couple of uses of bad language in it. Jazzee :) x

A wonderfully evocative portrait of childhood innocence and obsession set in 1940s Spain.
