Il Postino (The Postman), Radford, 1994
The touching story of a simple postman, Mario (Massimo Troisi), who learns to express his complicated emotions after a famous Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda (Philippe Noiret), arrives on his small Mediterranean island and ends up by chance on his mail route. This chance encounter helps the previously melancholic Mario to appreciate the beauty of his surroundings, express his love for Beatrice (Maria Grazia Cucinotta), who works at the local bar, and become more politically active and fight for the rights of the people of his island.
This film was the beloved Troisi's last, as he passed before it's release.
