Il Postino (The Postman) (1994) featuring an Italian and French cast that will not be familiar to Americans. In Italian with English subtitles. Poignant and unforgettable, the story of a feckless man (Mario) and how delivering mail to a famous poet changes his life. At first, Mario seems at best unintelligent, but later we come to realize he might be a poet himself. Still later, he takes on the dimensions of a tragic hero.
