How to woo a lady- Poets know how words can sweep the heart, so OUR BOY asks the poet for help. The POET is a catholic and a communist, but in Italy that's very common. He is a celebrity and can get away with many things as we see on Italian TV in politics THE LADY, enticing, becomes wooing the boy despite her widowed mother's objection There is dancing, a wedding, and a dramatic finalisation worth seeing. I love it!
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen & I've watched it many times. It's just so gentle, romantic, thought provoking & funny. For me it shows the human spirit at it's best: love, hope, sadness, beauty,humour & creativity
Il Postino: The Postman is a 1994 Italian drama film directed by Michael Radford, packaged on DVD.
A true cinema delight for romantics and lovers of enriched drama, Il Postino – The Postman is a gentle Italian tale about the power of words, the strength of love and the ability to overcome life's many emotional challenges. Mario (Oscar® nominee Massimo Troisi in his final screen performance) is a newly appointed mailman who is madly in love with the most beautiful woman in town, Beatrice Russo (Maria Grazia Cucinotta). Bumbling, interminably shy and far too nervous to tell her how he feels, Mario becomes inspired when a world-famous Chilean poet visits the small island community. Pablo Neruda (Award winning actor Philippe Noiret, Cinema Paradiso) is a revelation to the otherwise introverted and soft spoken Mario and with his expert help Mario not only finds the right words to woo Beatrice but has a fighting chance to win her over.
