Il Postino (The Postman) [Import]

Having developed a love of poetry, Mario finds himself leaning on the man of letters for the words to win the beautiful villager (Maria Grazia Cucinotta) who'd captured his heart. Poignant offering, made all the more so by Troisi's passing a day after wrap, co-stars Renato Scarpa. 108 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian and Spanish; Subtitles: English.
