Everyone seeing Baaria will presumably have seen Cinema Paradiso first, which may induce misleading expectations. This is much more than the life story of one man, it is the story of the town as well, and of rural, small-town Sicily in the context of 20th century Italy as a whole. Peppino, the hero, is a much more human character than Salvatore (in Cinema Paradiso), because the life of Peppino and the life of the town are fleshed out in much greater detail - much more background incident, incidentally allowing a number of well-known Italian actors to take small parts. The final scenes create a nicely rounded ending. If I had to make a criticism, I would say that Tornatore tries to pack too much into 144 minutes; I would happily have sat through a more leisurely, longer version of the film, if only to protract the pleasure. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting if you can understand it - Arty Italian Film. *by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2011* Bought this due to reviews on the French Amazon site and also enjoyed the directors previous film. It is very difficult to follow as they have packed a lot in, I think i need to watch it again to fully understand, but I think it is an enjoyable film, but not one to watch unless you can concentrate. It is very Italian and gives a good insight into growing up. Some of the themes e.g. the Mafia not so clear, but this might be the perspective of the character. Not quite what I expected, and obviously a popular film in Italy but I did not quite get it but beautifully filmed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely memory piece courtesy of Giuseppe Tornatore *by T***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2011* In a tiny Sicilian village called Baaria, the film follows three generations and 60 years from the 1920s through the 1980s. The main protagonist is Peppino (Francesco Scianna), the son of a shepherd, who becomes a committed communist during WWII. He falls in love with the lovely Mannina (Margareth Made) and they raise a family but his commitment to communism keeps him away for much of the time even as he slowly becomes disillusioned. I've never understood the great affection for director Giuseppe Tornatore's CINEMA PARADISO that most film lovers have but Tornatore's work here, though flawed, is both ambitious and beautiful. Though the film clocks in at 2 1/2 hours, the film seems choppy. Tornatore tries to cram too many stories, too many incidents and too many characters in the running time so that we never quite have the time get to know anybody but Peppino and his wife. Fortunately, the appealing Scianna and fetching Made hold our interest. The film needs a more leisurely pace. I suspect that a director's cut would run closer to 4 hours and I'd love to see that version. Visually, the film is stunning, Enrico Lucidi's wide screen images among the most beautiful I've ever seen and at times, it seems enough to just bask in those images. The ending is a real beauty. The gorgeous score is by Ennio Morricone. The massive cast includes Angela Molina and Monica Bellucci.The e-one DVD from Great Britain is a top notch wide screen (2.35) transfer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61807678-baaria-dvd](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61807678-baaria-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
