Trivia:
In the month of December 2013, the movie had a 25th anniversary re-release for Guiseppe Tornatore's love letter to cinema, that is now accepted as a modern classic but was rejected by Italian audiences when it first opened back in the late 1988s.
Italy once (by the end of 1956) had the largest network of cinemas in the whole of Europe. A total of 17,000. This was the highest ever reached in around that time.
Director Giuseppe Tornatore's intention was that this film should serve as an obituary for traditional movie theatres (like the one on the film) and the movie industry in general. After the movie's success he never mentioned this again.
