Movie Reviews of Il Postino
Movie Review: One of the most Beautiful movies ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
One can't help but fall in love (regardless of gender) with the Postman. This movie is touching from the first second all the way till the last. Even to those who have no idea who Pablo Neruda is this is a film that anyone can enjoy or relate to.
There is something that would have been absolutely lost in translation had this movie been dubbed. To anyone watching it with subtitles you get all the emotional context that makes it great. If you happen to know Italian you are certainly in for a treat.
If you see no other classic film this year (or lifetime) I can suggest with no reserve that you watch this one.
Movie Review: Life is beautiful!
Summary: 5 Stars
As you watch the movie, you will be rooting for the shy, fumbling, barely literate postman who is in love, but needs coaching and gets it from an unlikely source, a temporary resident: Pablo Neruda. This is a movie full of warmth, humour and sadness. It held my attention till the end. It's very much worth your time to listen to the director's commentary as well. I don't think it needs to be slotted as a "foreign" film - anyway it is not directed by an Italian. It could have been set almost anywhere, but as it happens, the setting is beautiful and it shows.Movie Review: Italy Does It Again
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally avoided this movie as the trailers made it sound like a refined geek pursues beauty movie. My assumption was very far off. The movie was about poetry and friendship within a backdrop of romance and love. The simplicity of story and the way it was presented was beautiful. Massimo's subtle humor and reserved approach in the role was Oscar worthy. I was saddened to hear he passed away just a short time after filming was completed. Fifteen years later I understand what all the hoopla was about!Movie Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Il Postino is the kind of film that i dream about.
When it arrives like love itself it chains your heart to its enchanting beauty and soft humor,
As the film moves along poignant insight's reveal themselves in a subtle shift so gently the viewer is given an insight within the heart of the beloved postman's unfulfilled love.
Such a simple story that leaves such an indelible mark with the viewer deserves all of the accolades that come it's way.
Movie Review: Enchanting
Summary: 5 Stars
Il Postino is an enchanting movie. It will make you believe that there are such things are pure love and everlasting friendship. Massimo Troisi, although dying from heart failure during the production of this movie, gives a performance that will lift your heart and spirit. Phillipe Noiret as Pablo Neruda is incredible. If you haven't read any of Neruda's poetry, buy his "One Hundred Love Sonnets" and rewatch the movie. As I have said.....enchanting.
