http://cinemaromantico.blogspot.com/
Cinema Romantico believes film is our greatest and most important art form. Day in, day out we offer insightful and unique criticism and comments in relation to current and past cinema. In fairness, we can also be prone to fanciful fits of hyerbolic, superlative-laden prose and loads of unbridled enthusiam. The movies are our passion. You will feel the passion, too.
