完璧な物語のシンフォニーは人生の宝物級の名作

Reviewed in Japan on 24 August 2019

Verified Purchase

25周年記念で初Blu-ray化されたディレクターカット版とも言われる174分のデジタル･レストアの完全オリジナル版は、ファンには涙が出るほど嬉しい。
日本では1988年にシネスイッチ銀座で単館上映されたが、40週のロングランで27万人を動員した伝説的な作品で、イタリア映画らしい陽気で情熱的で哀しいシチリアを舞台に映画を通じた人生の奥深さが綴られている。

ストーリーはジュゼッペ･トルナトーレ監督自身の半生と神父からの体験談をモチーフとした回想録となっていて、第二次大戦直後の｢シネマパラダイス｣と言う名の映画館に出入りしていた幼少期の主人公トトことサルヴァトーレと、昔気質だが人生をよく知る映写技師アルフレードとの出会いから始まる。前半は戦争で多くの若者が還らぬ人となった陰鬱な当時のシチリアの片田舎で、唯一の娯楽だった映画に喜怒哀楽する村の人々が微笑ましい。
中盤は、映画がモノラルからカラーへ、更にテレビが普及する期間、映写技師を引き継いだ青年期の主人公は恋愛に目覚め、兵役に翻弄され、そして父親代わりの師アルフレードの指南で故郷を後に映画監督を目指す。特に二人の間の会話が痛々しいほど思いやりに溢れ、数々の伏線を散りばめた素晴らしい脚本に感動する。
終盤は30年後にアルフレードの葬儀に村に戻った、映画監督として大成したトトが村人達と再会しながら思い出と人生を整理する。それまでのストーリー全てを美しくも儚く締め括る、その万感のエンディングに胸が高鳴り、そして温かい感傷に包まれる。時間を超えた人の愛情に触れる穏やかな感覚は他にはなかなか無い味わいだ。

本作は主人公や親だけでなく、神父や映画館オーナー、友人達を含めた村人一人ひとりが歴史を跨いで丁寧に描写され、郷里の持つ温かい抱擁感を巧みに演出している。
また、大人も子供も一緒に映画館で沸き立つ村民達、乾いた地中海気候の青空や草原、教会や石畳、古い街並みや漁港等の映像が本当に美しい。その完璧な風景画の中で表情豊かな演者らを写すカメラワークが更に美しいのだから凄い。本当の愛情を知る男の背中に、これほど多くを語らせる作品はなかなか無い。
音楽は巨匠エンニオ･モルコーネが、稀に見る映像と旋律のハーモニーを実現した。その艶やかでおおらかなメロディは、映像を“表情”とも呼べる豊かさで表現して彼の名を世界に知らしめた。
数々の映画名シーンに彩られた珠玉の本作は、監督、脚本、演者、映像、音楽、編集が完璧なオーケストラを奏で、観る人の心を晴れやかにし、人生を豊かにしてくれた、子を持つ自分にとっての最高の宝物だ。
映画の持つ素晴らしい力を再認識する、☆7級の名作中の名作です。

An excellent director's cut and a lyrical Morricone score.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 August 2020

Verified Purchase

When I heard that the score to this film had been the one Ennio Morricone had been proudest of it seemed like a good opportunity to buy this set. I had seen the theatrical release a long time ago and was keen to see the director's cut and how the extra 50 minutes changed the film. ( I was in the mood for some good world cinema. )
Whilst still being visually stunning and life affirming the longer version definitely seemed to have more contrasts than I remember. There were many more ribald, absurd and amusing moments than in the original and more dark moments too, which went a long way toward removing the cloying sentimentality from the shorter film. The music is perfectly integrated - apparently the film was made to the score rather than in the usual way - and is Morricone at his most lyrical and conventional.
This was a great buy. It was marvellous to see the directors original intentions and hear Morricone's full score. Recommended.

An enjoyable film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a very nice film about a young boy who had a passion for watching films. He develops a very moving relationship with the projectionist of s village cinema, who becomes his mentor and treats him like a father. It is also interesting to witness the censorship applied by the local catholic priest to any scenes showing mildly erotic kisses between some young men and women.
There are two versions of the film in this package. I have only watched the standard version so far, but it was intriguing enough to make me plan to watch the extended ‘director’s’ cut version which has a far better image quality and is also 50 minutes longer!

Cinema Paradiso 25th Aniversary Remastered Two Disc Blu-ray (just released Dec 13)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2013

Verified Purchase

`Cinema Paradiso', this new 25th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray release from Arrow Films arrived just before Christmas and what a wonderful Christmas present from the wife that didn't quite make it to the tree! Though the other reviews are useful they are misleading and do not apply to this vastly superior product.Most of you will be familiar with the storyline of this highly acclaimed Italian film. It comes in a two-disc version `The Directors Cut' 170 mins rated Cert 15 on one disc and a 124-minute theatrical cut rated PG version which has the sexual content, removed from the story on the other disc. Also on the Theatrical disc is an excellent selection of extras. Many may find The Directors Cut a bit over long and some of the sexual content, perhaps rather unnecessary to what is a very moving romantic love story set around a cinema in Sicily, in the period just after the war. This release was delayed presumably to allow for a theatrical showing at a few selected Cinemas. The previous UK Blu-ray release of the theatrical cut was only marginally better than the DVD, and I kept my DVD of The Directors Cut pending this release; incidentally I sold it on Amazon the day I listed. The original negatives have had a 2K scan and though the new version is not perfect, there is still a small amount of damage and some of the dark scenes have noticeable grain, but it really looks gorgeous projected on my 8ft screen and a very noticeable improvement on the previous releases. Also the musical score adds to the romance and nostalgia for an age gone forever. Having been to Sicily on holiday this year it was lovely to see the beautiful scenery and the soak up the vista of the typical Sicilian atmospheric villages. This is really an excellent two-disc package that comes with a thirty two-page booklet, which has high repeatability. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves this film and to those few who have never seen it!

Grande Film ma fuggite a gambe levate dalla versione TAGLIATA !

Reviewed in Italy on 27 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Voglio qui dichiarare che questo Film DEVE essere visto nella sua Completezza. Questa è la terza volta che lo rivedo. La prima (anni fa) per fortuna era la edizione completa. La seconda restai inorridito e disgustato dalla idiozia legata al taglio non so se legato ai tempi televisivi o che di cosa altro sia. La terza, questa, ho cercato APPOSITAMENTE quella COMPLETA perché è l'unica ad offrire un senso completo a tutta la vicenda e corona una bella storia. Piaciuta anche alla moglie che dichiara uno dei più bei film mai visti e so il perché. Quindi: aborrite la versione NON integrale.
