    Character Evaluation

    The number of Giuseppe Tornatore's films is small. Most of them are set in his hometown of Sicily. The subject matter also prefers the longing of teenagers and the memories of old age, but almost every one is a carefully tempered work Review). The strong romantic style is a major feature of Tonadore's works . 
    Giuseppe Tornatore is as precise as ever: in a short period of time, he makes a very accurate appearance of the protagonist or the main action. Although he is an Italian, he is more Hollywood than a pure Hollywood director. But almost precisely because of this, Tonadore's works often give people the same impression: meticulous, professional and almost indifferent. Because it is too formulaic, it appears rigid, which makes it difficult to implement a certain suspensefulness of the film's appeal .
