The Legend of 1900
The highly-anticipated 4K restoration of the 1998 Italian classic The Legend of 1900 hits theaters today. Helmed by Giuseppe Tornatore and starring Tim Roth, the critically acclaimed film follows a baby boy who, discovered in 1900 on an ocean liner, grows into a musical prodigy but never sets foot on land.
Though never screened in the Chinese mainland, the film has pulled at the heartstrings of nearly 100,000 viewers on Douban, China's largest film review site, and was rated as high as 9.2 out of 10 by its usually unforgiving users.
