Set in a small Sicilian town, the film centres on the friendship between a young boy and an aging projectionist who works at the titular movie theatre. The film has been cited as one of the greatest films of all time and a world cinema classic. In 1989 it won the Academy award for Best Foreign Language Film, the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and eleven BAFTA awards which was a record for a foreign language film until this was broken by ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ in 2023.
