What Parents Need to Know
About Cinema Paradiso
Parents need to know that Ttis charming tale of friendship and the love of movies is the perfect introduction to foreign films for older tweens and young teens. Although it may be a little slow and syrupy for cynical teens, most kids will find the sentimental tale touching. Content-wise, there's little to worry about; a character is badly burned, and there's some on-screen kissing (note: the R-rated director's cut features more explicit sexuality).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how Alfredo helps Salvatore gain the confidence to pursue his passion. Who are your real-life mentors? Families may also want to talk to older children about the gifts they have to share with younger kids.
