Customer Reviews of Il Postino
Outstanding Il Postino immediately made my all-time best list with its inspiring and moving story of a simple man finding the courage to love and his greater personal destiny through the help and influence of an unlikely figure, a world-renowned poet seeking political exile in his small village. Despite some of the previous reviews here, this movie has a solid script allowing true character development, taking time to establish the right pace and realistic relationships between the main characters. Nothing in it rings false, and thus it deserves all the acclaim that has come its way. Although Il Postino did not win the Oscars that maybe it should have -- does anyone remember who took Best Picture for 1995? -- I'm sure it will continue to draw the attention and admiration of film lovers decades into the future, and what more could a serious filmmaker ask for? Like its soulful sibling Cinema Paradiso, Il Postino is profound and affecting, the kind of experience that cracks away our cynicism and weariness to reveal the beauty and power of life and the potential for creative greatness and happiness in all of us. By the end, through the postman's humility, honesty, kindness, courage, and spiritual rebirth and ascension, we, like the famous poet, witness the emergence of a greater heart and inspiration, and are thankful for being delivered home.
What an Amazing Movie!
I first came across Il Postino whilst watching the British equivalent of the Oscars, the BAFTA's, when I believe it won Best Foreign Film. Following that show I rented it from my local Blockbuster, what followed was something I will never forget. A film with such grace, elegance and passion I was sincerely moved. The scenery which is complemented by a wonderful soundtrack shows how movies can capture the hearts and minds of everyone.
Telling the story of Mario Ruopollo a poor son of a fisherman, Il Postino charts the months following the arrival of exiled Chilean poet Pablo Neruda to the small Italian island where Mario lives and how the poet of love helps Mario win the heart of latest Bond Girl Maria Grazia Cucinotta. A story of love and friendship that will surely capture the viewers heart and stay with them forever!
Enjoyable and delightful film!
Massimo Troisi's last work as Il postino became his undesired cinema testament. His acting became in one of the most expressive performings ever given : amazing, charming, overwhelming , powerful and sincere.
Noiret is a multiple skill gifted actor ; his presence literally invades the whole screen and his performance as Neruda is top notch.
The landscapes are arresting : the plot is full inspired and the direction is towering . Radford got a sublime work : an unforgettable artistic work. Besides the music is another brilliant actor: even there is a jazz version of the Yellowjackets.
And don't forget the funny and clever statement of il postino : "The poem doesn't own to the poet but whom needs it*
