Il Postino - The Postman Trailer - Original

Pablo Neruda, the famous Chilean poet, is exiled to a small island for political reasons. On the island, the unemployed son of a poor fisherman is hired as an extra postman due to the huge increase in mail that this causes. Il Postino is to hand-deliver the celebrity's mail to him. Though poorly educated, the postman learns to love poetry and eventually befriends Neruda. Struggling to grow and express himself more fully, he suddenly falls in love and needs Neruda's help and guidance more than ever.

This movie broke my heart as a child, and I loved it for it. Such a beautiful piece.

Massimo Troisi (actor who played Mario Ruoppolo) died in 1994 of a heart attack twelve hours after the main filming on Il Postino had finished.
He is one of only seven actors to be posthumously nominated for an acting Academy Award.

Massimo Troisi (the postman in the movie) has been my loved actors since ever. One of funniest Italian actors, he's so sweet in this movie. Nice movie, watched once and no more, just 'cause after the movie came out, he died.

I went to the opening weekend of this movie and I was the only person in the theatre, and to think that this movie ran for two years in New York makes me question where I really do live.
