DeBaser hosts a range of reviews on Giuseppe Tornatore, praising his visual style, nostalgia, and collaborations with Ennio Morricone. Recurring praise for Nuovo Cinema Paradiso and the Morricone-scored soundtracks is balanced by critiques about pacing, editing, or occasional implausible plots. The documentary Ennio is singled out as a recent high point. Overall the reception is favorable with measured criticisms.

For:Fans of Italian cinema, auteur-driven drama, film music aficionados and readers interested in director-focused reviews.

 A film, aside from everything, unmissable, which in its intuition inspired several Hollywood productions, which gained a wider following despite being infinitely inferior.
