Chris M Nov 2 One of the 5 sexiest movies of all time, imho. See more Nina K Jul 16 A love story from start to finish. An older man takes interest in a young woman just blossoming into her womanhood. The affair is sensual, timeless, startling, and all-consuming. The kind of deep affair every woman dreams about having. Examples of real life suffering that will take you on an emotional ride. I cried at the end. Adult audience only! See more Matthew D Feb 2 How did these two come together? Why? What do they have in common besides sex? Anything? Does this movie care? If not, why should we? There are actually pornos that have explored these themes better. No kidding. See more Hans S 04/17/2024 Some movies or stories can hardly turn old ... See more Jennifer E 09/03/2023 I saw this movie at 22 years old and still think about it at 52 years old. See more Dom 01/06/2023 If you're into history and you just happen to decide on whether you want to watch "Cinema Paradiso" or "The Lover" 1992 film, watch "Cinema Paradiso" first, particularly for cinema nostalgia enthusiasts for the "Golden Age of Hollywood" from a place that is far away from that as Italy. A lot of "The Lover" is a sadist's wet dream, the protagonist's family is abusive and very dislikable and the protagonist is more of a cardboard cut-out rather than a character you can sympathize with. Everyone in "Cinema Paradiso" is much more likable in comparison and the plot points are actually emotionally well-conveyed. I personally prefer the director's cut of "Cinema Paradiso". There were scenes in both films that made me cry (both in "The Lover" and director's cut version of "Cinema Paradiso"), which is a rare thing for me. See more Read all reviews
