#ItaTinsieme #LaDolceVita
ItaT is proud to continue with its series of italian movies projection, named “La Dolce Vita”.
The fifth movie that we propose is “Il postino (the postman)”.
Il Postino (The Postman) is a 1994 Italian comedy-drama film. The screenplay was adapted from the Chilean novel Ardiente paciencia (Burning Patience) by Antonio Skármeta. This was the last movie of writer/star Massimo Troisi who died the day after filming was completed.
Il Postino received five nomination one Academy award. Moreover, the film won the BAFTA Award for the best film not in the English language and the film’s score won the BAFTA Award for the best film music.
The story takes place in a small picturesque island in the south of Italy. It depicts the unusual relationship between Mario and the poet Pablo Neruda. Mario is the son of a fisherman but despises that life. Although poorly educated, after meeting Pablo Neruda, Mario learns to love poetry and the two become friends. Mario falls in love and struggles to express himself more fully. Neruda helps the shy and clumsy Mario to win the heart of Beatrice by showing him the beauty and power of poetry.
