IL POSTINO (1994)

The poet Pablo Neruda is exiled from his homeland and takes up residence in an isolated fishing village. A fisherman’s son takes a job as the poet’s postman and as a friendship develops, the postman discovers the poetry in his own life. Francesca’s Pick: “I ache for the postman who seems so, so sensitive and fragile but who just keeps searching for what he longs for. He is so shy and yet he manages to seduce the most beautiful woman in the village and become the friend of a renowned poet.”
