” When will this rotten summer end? In a film, it’d already be over. Fade-out, cut to a storm. Wouldn’t that be great? .”
Director Giuseppe Tornatore’s beloved Cinema Paradiso played in St. Louis at The Hi-Pointe (1005 McCausland Ave.) when it was new. It ran several weeks to big crowds. I saw it there several times during in its initial run. Cinema Paradiso was such a perfect movie for the Hi-Pointe, which doesn’t look too much different than it did when it was built in 1922. . Something about its city locale, its nostalgia factor, its retro interior, and the fact that they sell wine by the bottle make me think that Tornatore would have been proud that his masterpiece screened there.
This weekend, starting July 3rd, Cinema Paradiso will be back at The Hi-Pointe. After a 3 1/2 month shutdown, the theater has made the wonderful decision to open back up with this special film.
