Directed by Michael Radford, this is a documentary worth the time. It is dubbed from the Italian in a flowing manner. One is nearly unaware of reading the dialogue after a short while. It was written by Radford along with Anna Panignano in a very dramatic way. The postman is assigned his menial job. He delivers mail to a very prominent poet. The poet imparts life and beauty to this simple but self educated delivery man. The scenes of coastal Italy are spectacular. The love story is compelling. One can only empathize with the postal delivery man who yearns to understand the poetry of this world prominent figure. There is excellent dialogue. There are great pieces of stage business. On DVD it still imparts a sense of compassion for the ideology of the author. The political ties to South America are powerful. It remains a worthwhile cinematic experience.
