The Postman

Il postino

25^th Anniversary.

In the 1950s, when exiled Chilean poet Pablo Neruda arrives on a tiny Italian isle, there's so much mail that Mario is hired as his postman. His job is simply to deliver Neruda's daily mail. Mario soon becomes a student of the poet, learning the art of poetry to woo a local barmaid and tell about the struggles of the working-class villagers. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Michael Radford’s beloved classic was the last film of Italian writer/star Massimo Troisi (The Voyage of Captain Fracassa). The film won an Academy Award for Foreign Picture.
