A regular staple in The Odyssey’s programme since we opened in 2014, it’s first outing as the third of four very special opening nights to our wonderful new patrons

and longtime supporters.

Set in a small Sicilian town, the film centres on the friendship between a young boy, Salvatore and an old man, Alfredo - a projectionist at the titular theatre. The film score was composed by Ennio Morricone and his son, Andrea, marking the

beginning of a collaboration between Tornatore and Morricone that lasted until Morricone’s death in 2020.

A winner of awards across the world including Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, 5 BAFTA Awards including Best Actor, Original Screenplay and Score, the Grand Prize of the Jury at

the Cannes Film Festival and many more.

Come and be charmed by this cinema lover’s delight!
