For the seventh film of the month we have Cinema Paradiso 

First off, we have the story which has a young man recalls his childhood of falling in love with the films shown at his local cinema and how he formed a friendship with the projectionist. I thought the story was amazing and showing the progression of someones life and how film can affect it was amazing to see and how someone now can still be effected by it by older films. 

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were the best part of the film as it was the focus especially between the protectionist Alfredo and Salvatore as they form a close bond through life and you can see how they both helped each other and how film brought them together. 

As for the film's visuals I thought it had some nice cinematography throughout with some good camerawork as well as lighting. The film also had some nice singular shots throughout that add life to the film and setting. Moving onto the tone of the film which I really enjoyed as it managed to have some comedy moments but also when times got bad for the characters you could feel for them. I thought the soundtrack of the film was very good as it captured living in Italy as well emotional tracks when needed to capture happy or sad times through life.

Overall, I thought this film was an excellent film and watching this as someone who is into film and how film was brought to life by the characters love for it showed how much it lasts through life to look back on. 

I give Cinema Paradiso  a score of 10/10
