Il Postino is my all-time favorite film. It has been for a while now. It shocked me and rocked me when I first saw it. There hasn’t been a single film I have watched since that day that I can honestly say I like better than Il Postino. There is not a frame wasted. Every single scene, every single movement is beautifully crafted the same way Neruda never wasted a single word.
Even after years of watching it, this one scene still gives me the chills. In it Neruda teaches what metaphors are to Mario.
