Comment: This is such a beautiful film.
If you are a fan of films, then you will definitely have a strong connection with the main character. He has such a passion for movies that when he was a young lad, he decided to be a projectionist from 10 years of age until his mid 20’s. Toto (the main character) didn’t choose to be a projectionist, it was part of him, a “calling” or his "first love"
Rating: 10/10

Agreed. This is one of my favorite films of all time and I feel it is highly underrated. Absolutely beautiful film. Wonderful pacing and lovely movement.
Did you see the director's cut as well? It is an interesting take.
People, go rent this film now. It is a gem.
11/10
