Difficult to add to my list I added to Volume 1, but here’s a few.
Sticking with Paul Giamatti as an actor who brings calm to any film, his latest effort is another to add to the list of calming films – The Holdovers.
What about Groundhog Day?
And then I remembered Cinema Paradiso (1988). A boy who grew up in a native Sicilian Village returns home as a famous director after receiving news about the death of an old friend. Told in a flashback, Salvatore reminiscences about his childhood and his relationship with Alfredo, a projectionist at Cinema Paradiso. Under the fatherly influence of Alfredo, Salvatore fell in love with film making, with the duo spending many hours discussing about films and Alfredo painstakingly teaching Salvatore the skills that became a stepping stone for the young boy into the world of film making. The film brings the audience through the changes in cinema and the dying trade of traditional film making, editing and screening. It also explores a young boy’s dream of leaving his little town to foray into the world outside. A film that could have been made just for you!
