Good luck finding this special edition! (which has the long directors cut and the original release) But I am sure there are many copies of the movie that won for best Foreign Film at the 1990 Oscars. Check out the IMDB and see that it also won every other award on the planet!! The first time I saw this film, I was stunned. That is the best way to put it. Not only was I moved by the deep pathos, humor and humanity of the characters, but by the very essence of the story. It truly is epic, covering the span of a man's life-time and that of the town in which he grew up and was nourished. It is about the love of film media as it was in its infancy; the beauty and excitement of seeing a man and woman making love on screen, (or in this case, not making love). Most of the action takes place in a small, Catholic, Italian village. It follows the life of a young fatherless boy "Toto" and his relationship with the generous man, Alfredo, who runs the projector at the town's cinema (Cinema Paradiso). Weaving throughout this rich story is a soundtrack written by a Master writer and arranger, Ennio Morricone. He has worked on almost 500 projects, major movies, TV shows, specials, etc. His better known American work is reflected in his Oscars for Bugsy, Days of Heaven, The Untouchables, and one of my favorites, The Mission. Mr. Morricone's theme for Cinema Paradiso will echo through your head and heart for days, drawing you to watch it again and again; as much to hear the music as to relive the life-affirming story.Read full review
Wonderful edition release of the film in theatrical and director's cut versions along with a CD of one of Ennio Morricone's most beloved scores.

I purchased this item for my husband who was seeking to have one in his possession. The many smiles and happy times he has spent enjoying this item are priceless!! Thank You
Bellísima película, de las más sensibles y encantadoras de la historia (aún cuando no haya quedado entre las 10 mejores de los 100 años del cine según la Academia de Artes y Ciencias de la Comunicación). Recomendada a ojo cerrado para quienes no se han dejado atrapar por Hollywood y todavía creen en las buenas historias.
