Such is the case of the delightful Il Postino, (1994), a poetic film about metaphors, and poetry. Mario finds in Neruda the providential mentor he needs to fulfill his aspiration of becoming a poet. Soon Mario is writing metaphors, poetry, in a notebook, reflections on his beach walks. Rich in its dense message and rewarding in terms of cinematic value, Il Postino is a film so enchanting I cannot believe anyone not liking it. Magnificently directed, finely acted and exquisitely told, Il Postino is a film both optimistic and heartwarming that is certain to elicit more than just one smile.
