About this product

Product Information

This Italian film from Giuseppe Tornatore is reminiscent of his earlier homage to the undying magic of cinema in 1989's CINEMA PARADISO. In 1953 Sicily, movie-mad con artist Joe Morelli (Sergio Castellitto) hatches a lucrative scam after he finds a U.S. Army camera and some film stock. He wanders the beautiful countryside and encounters its friendly residents, offering to give them all screen tests--for 1,500 lire a pop.These humble folks embrace the idea and reveal their dreams and regrets as if the camera is their priest. Tornatore's use of actual Sicilian townspeople in many of these scenes lends an incredible honesty and realism to their captivating tales of love, death, and desire for freedom. Their thoughts are etched on their expressive and well-worn faces. Joe's scam takes an unexpected turn when the openness and honesty of the townsfolk stirs something foreign in him--his conscience. When he meets Beata (Tiziana Lodato), a gorgeous young woman raised in isolation in a village convent, Joe is truly captivated, and loses himself in his new protege. Beata is a true beauty and she is photogenic and captivating on screen. She desires fame and fortune, and believes Joe can make her a true star. Together with Beata, Joe travels the small rundown villages of Sicily, selling dreams of fame. This simple film is a love letter to the enduring power of cinema and the flights of fancy that can be captured in the simple stories of individuals everywhere.

    Great condition! Clam shell vhs were shipped quick and seller was very responsive to my messages by confirming each tape listed, I was really impressed by the packaging as well. Even padded it with empty clam shells!! Every VHS worked as listed! For the price you cant beat it ! Another 10 to the collection !! My only negative experience is with USPS package was shipped the next day or so and USPS held it at my local distribution center for over 2 weeks!

    Wow, item came really fast. I love the Saint. I watched these dvd's in the early 70's. Great programming. The packaging, and value were as stated and described. The dvds were in exceptional condition. No flaws. No skipping. I believe this seller deserves a 5 star rating. Great buy!! Great deal!! Nicely priced. Can't say enough about that. I will do business with this seller again!!

    I was very impressed by how carefully and securely the DVD was packaged. The item came in the condition advertised. It was of good quality. The value or price was comparable to other sellers on ebay, but because of the care with which the item was packaged and the speed at which it was delivered, I place this seller a cut above the rest! Thank you!
