What's left behind the scenes

  • The first version of the film was 2 hours and 35 minutes long. Internationally, the film was shown for 2 hours and 3 minutes. Several years later, a version 20 minutes longer appeared, in which the protagonist, a film lover, not only experiences the magical world of the screen through an old projectionist from childhood, but also experiences ordinary human, physical love right on the floor of the "Paradiso" cinema.
  • On the wall of the projectionist Alfredo’s workspace hangs a poster for the film "Casablanca" (1942).
  • By the end of 1956, there were 17,000 cinemas in Italy – more than in any other European country.
  • The film was shot in Bagheria, Sicily, the hometown of director and screenwriter Giuseppe Tornatore. Tornatore drew inspiration for the film from his childhood experiences there.
  • Giuseppe Tornatore planned to make a film that, according to him, would be a kind of obituary for traditional cinemas (like the one shown in the film) and the film industry as a whole. The film was successful, and Tornatore never made that comparison publicly again.
  • Before casting Salvatore Cascio, Giuseppe Tornatore photographed over 300 Sicilian boys.
  • The first version of the film ran for 2 hours and 35 minutes. Internationally, the film was shown for 2 hours and 3 minutes. Several years later, a version 20 minutes longer appeared, in which the main character, in love with cinema, not only becomes acquainted with the magical world of the screen through an old film projectionist from childhood, but also experiences ordinary human, fleshly love right on the floor of the 'Paradiso' cinema.
  • In the film projectionist Alfredo's workspace, a poster for the film 'Casablanca' (1942) hangs on the wall.
