- Synopsis:
- On a remote Mediterranean island, Mario Ruoppolo (Massimo Troisi), a shy and simple-minded fisherman's son, is hired to deliver mail to exiled 'poet of love' Pablo Neruda (Philippe Noiret). As the two develop an improbable but tender friendship, Mario enlists Neruda's help to win the heart of a beautiful woman.

Stamped with Love - Il Postino review by CP Customer
A wonderful romance, excellently acted with a gentle humour running throughout. Yes, it has subtitles but it really is worth getting past them because this is a film to curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine. A gem!

Beautiful and moving - Il Postino review by vs
I was enchanted by this film from the very start. The acting, filming in this gloriously understated film was stunning. I've not been so moved by a film for years.

superb - Il Postino review by Popeyethetim
Moved me to read Neruda again. Beautifully portrayed a wonderful and simple love story told with simplicity and having the weight of passion and sensuality all underlaying it.
