Though shy and poorly educated, our postman (Massimo Troisi) is so intrigued by Neruda (Philippe Noiret - of Cinema Paradiso) that he devises ploys to engage the attention of the great poet. The unlikely duo become friends as Neruda is charmed by the fresh simplicity of the postman whose love for poetry he then uses to woo local beauty, Beatrice (Maria Grazia Cucinotta - of Bond The World is Not Enough ).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFramed by an unforgettable Oscar®-winning score by Luis Bacalov, the duo's on-screen charm, coupled with Radford's unobtrusive yet inspired direction, make this an undisputed masterpiece which, like all great art, speaks to our subconscious, here with warm loving humanity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAwards:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- 7th Highest Grossing Foreign Film in USA All time - with $22Million theatrical.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- ImDb: 7.7\/10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- OSCAR® for Best Music\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- OSCAR® Nomination for: Massimo Troisi, Best actor in a leading role\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- OSCAR® Nomination for: Michael Radford, Best director\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- OSCAR® Nomination for: Best Picture \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eRegion: B\/2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage: Italian \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eSubtitles: English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eExtra:  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePoetry in Motion: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA newly produced candid interview with director Michael Radford\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso available on Itunes at: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/movie\/il-postino\/id1444782296\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/movie\/il-postino\/id1444782296\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReview\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eIl Postino is a brilliant and beautiful drama that deserves to be called a masterpiece.
