Movie talk 6 - Giuseppe Tornatore

Giuseppe Tornatore's works:

Cinema Paradiso

Everybody's Fine

The legend of 1900

Malena

----------
"Cinema paradiso" made him famous in one night. Great movie! Although his later movies were not as popular as "Cinema pardiso", I think "Malena" is just as good. What amazed me the most is the pure sentimental emotions his films delivered. Influenced by the most sentimental Chinese literature, it was the first time I was sentimentally moved by a non-Chinese film.

Ennio Morricone produced the music for all his movies. All is great. The most impressive one is the piano Tim Roth played when he watched a girl walking on the boat in "The legend of 1900".
