Within my seek out films which are not well known but tell a good story by having an excellent presentation, I came across "Cinema Paradiso" by Italian Director Giuseppe Tornatore.

Many critics credit Cinema Paradiso with reviving Italy's movie industry, which may later produce "Mediterraneo" and "Life is Beautiful ".Tornatore deserves much more credit than his directing effort; he also wrote the story and screenplay with some collaboration from Vanna Paoli.
Giuseppe Tornatore joins an extremely select group of writer/directors who've had the opportunity to generate great films in a twin role. Most writer/directors fail miserably inside their effort. I would elevate Tornatore to the same level as Tim McCanlies in "Secondhand Lions" and Kirk Jones in "Waking Ned Devine", both excellent pictures. It takes far more than gumption to produce an excellent film, additionally it takes enormous talent, heart, sensitivity and maturity.
So exactly how successful was Cinema Paradiso? Among its 19 wins and 12 nominations for excellence was the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes, and Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival.

Cascio steals every scene he is in along with his incredible facial expressions, inquisitive mind and indomitable determination to discover ways to be described as a projectionist.
On the way, he enters lots of trouble. He loses his mother's trust by spending money he is given to purchase bread for the household on an admission fee to see a picture at the theater. He cons Alfredo the projectionist into giving him some film that triggers a fire in his home and threatens his sister's life. He causes Alfredo to break his promise to Toto's mother that he will no longer let Toto into the projectionist's booth.
Ultimately, the flammable film also causes a fire and destroys the Cinema Paradiso and, in a harrowing act, Toto saves Alfredo's life but Alfredo loses his sight in the disaster. Following the Paradiso is rebuilt because the Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (New Paradise Cinema), Toto, who has learned to become a projectionist, is hired as a kid to take action because he is alone in the village who knows how.
The bond between Alfredo as a surrogate father to Toto will only grow deeper when Toto enters his teenage years.
