A Movie to Fall in Love With
1 of 1 found this helpful One of my ten favorite movies--this is an evocative, funny, sad, poignant
coming-of-age film. A successful filmmaker returns to his impoverished boyhood home in Sicily to attend the funeral of his mentor, friend, and father-substitute who saw him through his childhood,guided him to follow his passion for movies, and banned him from Giancaldo, their dust bowl town with no future.
Told as a flashback, this simple film is centered on the relationship between these two characters. At Alfredo's knee, next to the Cinema Paradiso projector, Toto learns about life, love, movies, sex, disappointments, loyalty, longings and the central importance of this friendship that formed the child who became a successful middle aged director without personal satisfaction. His return to his roots after 30 years' absence draws into sharp focus the town, the same people--just older, the same crazy old guy "closing" the streets at night, declaring the town square his, and the Cinema Paradiso, lying in disrepair about to be razed. In this case it's: so far and yet so near. As far as he's traveled in time, place, and status, he's instantly transported back in time--but with the hindsight the passing years have given him. Watching his first film taken of his first and only real love, and watching Alfredo's bequest of a compilation of all the kisses and love scenes the town priest had years ago censored, he is moved to his core at the reminder of his past, his losses, and the price he paid for success. As the credits roll, there is a glimpse of that girl, now 30 years older, browsing in a store , no doubt in his proximity, and you can't help but wonder if he'll get it right now.

THE BEST SESAME OIL IN THE WORLD!!
1 of 1 found this helpful I fell in love with toasted sesame oil 40 years ago. Among other uses, it is my house salad dressing mixed with gourmet seasoned rice wine vinegar (I recommend Marukan). Once I discovered Kadoya, I never bought another brand. It is exceptional--perfect. If you buy it, you'll thank me.

Planet Earth--A Winner
I bought this DVD set for my 9-year old nephew for Chanukah. He's smart, inquisitive, loves science and has always been a keen and enthusiastic observer of life around him. This was the perfect gift. The breadth of knowledge and the production values are phenomenal. It's so alive and personal it can't help but bring home to all of us the beauty and preciousness of our planet and all its inhabitants. Mesmerizing for all ages.
