Recently, the classic Italian business card "Cinema Paradiso" will be re-screened in Chinese mainland.
Huang Hai, a famous Chinese film poster designer, personally designed a poster that makes people feel like they are really in paradise cinema.
Cinema Paradiso was first released in Italy at the end of 1988, won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1989, and the following year was edited into an international version for worldwide release through the operation of the famous Miramax Company, and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Over the years, the Paradise Cinema on the Italian island of Sicily has been admired and admired by audiences all over the world, and the people in the film, those stories, have become haunting classics.
So, 33 years later, where are the actors in Cinema Paradiso now?
Alfredo, the soul of Cinema Paradiso, is played by French superstar Philippe Noiret, who was almost 60 years old when he made the film.
Philippe Noire was actually well-known in China for a long time, and in 1975 he starred with Princess Sissi, Romei Schneider, in the war reflection film "The Old Gun", which was very sensational after being introduced to China. At that time, Bicker, who was a Shanghai Film Translation Studio, voiced Philip, and Ding Jianhua voiced Schneider.
Philip was in his early 40s when he made "Old Gun", old handsome!
After "Cinema Paradiso", Philippe also starred in the world-famous Italian film "The Postman", in which he played the famous Chilean poet Neruda.
Philippe Noire died in November 2006 at the age of 76.
The three Toto actors also have their own lives.
Little Toto is played by a man named Sawatelli Casio, who plays the childhood Toto, which is really cute and clever, and makes people extremely pitiful.
Sawatelli Casio was only 9 years old when he starred in Toto, becoming a world-renowned child star. However, he did not become an actor after that.
When "Cinema Paradiso" was filmed, he was looking for an actor in the local area, so the little boy Savatelli Casio, born in 1979 in Palazzo-Adriano, was lucky to play the childhood Toto. But he felt that it would be difficult to learn acting when he grew up, so he gave up being an actor. Instead, I opened a homestay in my hometown, two supermarkets and a restaurant. As the youngest actor in the film, he is also a 42-year-old middle-aged man this year.
And the young Toto is so handsome, the appearance of the handsome Italian fresh meat and beautiful man at that time is also fascinating to thousands of female audiences.
The actor is named Mark Leonardi, he was only 18 years old when he made "Cinema Paradiso", but he is not very tall, 1 meter 7.
Born in Australia to Italian parents, Mark Leonardi was sent back to Rome to grow up and started shooting commercials at the age of three, already having extensive filming experience before filming Cinema Paradiso. After "Cinema Paradiso" made him popular, he began to try to become an international actor.
In 1992, he starred in the famous Mexican director Alfonso Areeo's "Chocolate Lover", which was well received and box office that year, and Mark Leonardi once again swept the world.
In 2003, he played the main supporting role of Fideo in the famous Mexican director Robert Rodriguez's business card "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", which is also a classic. Mark Leonardi stepped into the door of Hollywood.
In 2007, two football powers, Argentina and Italy, co-produced the biographical film Maradona, played by Marc Leonardi, but there was some controversy.
In 2017, big director Ridley Scott made "Money World", he played Mamoletti, a film that was once released in Chinese mainland.
Marc Leonardi has remained active in Italian and European cinema in recent years, with the latest film being the 2019 Italian comedy The Vine.
The middle-aged Toto was played by the famous French producer, director and actor Jacques Behan, who was 47 years old when he played the role.
In fact, before "Cinema Paradiso", Jacques Behan was already an internationally renowned all-round filmmaker. He and Toto's film journey is still very similar, entering the film world at the age of 16. In 1966, he won the Venetian Film Emperor for the movie "Half a Man", when he was only 25 years old.
In 1969, he was the producer of Focus News, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This movie is still a classic business card.
Jacques Behan has also played roles in a large number of films, such as Cinema Paradiso, and after Cinema Paradiso, he turned his interest to documentaries focusing on the natural ecology, producing and directing "Himalayas", "Microscopic World", "Migrating Birds", "Ocean", "Earth Seasons", "Time Journey" and other business cards.
"Migrating Birds", "Ocean", "Four Seasons of the Earth" and so on have been released in China.
Playing Toto's young girlfriend Elena in the film is italian actress Agnes Nano, who was only 22 years old.
Although Agnes Nano has been an actress since then, she has no more eye-catching works, and her most recent work is the 2020 Italian film "Kingdom", which was also screened at last year's Shanghai International Film Festival. But she also played a very small supporting role.
The actor who played Toto's mother when she was young was Antonella Attilli, but she was actually playing an old show, and she was not yet 30 years old at the time. She's still an actress, still filming.
The actress who played Toto's mother in her old age, the first person in the film at the beginning of the film, named Pupella Margio, was almost 80 years old when she starred in the film. Puppela Marcchio died in 1999 at the age of 89.
Popella Marcchio is an Italian veteran actress, and her most famous work was the 1973 actress in the 1973 Film "Armacode" by the italian director Fellini, which was also the winner of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film that year.
Many of the unforgettable supporting characters in the film have mostly passed away.
Leopoldo Trieste, who plays the priest, is actually related to a clip in this movie. In the film, Toto's room has a painting of the great director Fellini's film The White Chief, which stars Leopoldo Trieste.
Leopoldo Trieste died in 2003.
Playing Spaccafico was Enzo Caravale, who died in 2011.
Tano Himaroza, who played the blacksmith who could recite the lines backwards, died in 2008.
Leo Rota, who plays a theater usher, is still acting.
Playing the crazy guy who shouted that the whole square was mine was Nicola di Pinto, who later worked with Giuseppe Tornadore, the director of Cinema Paradiso.
Elena, who made a lot of appearances in the extended version, was played by french actress Brigitte Fosse in middle age, and she is still acting.
Forever, always remember the Cinema Paradiso in our hearts.
