About
The Capitol Centre is showing an Italian classic film FREE. Join us to watch "Il Postino".
"This comedy-drama film was co-written by and starring Massimo Troisi and directed by English filmmaker Michael Radford. Based on the 1985 novel "Ardiente paciencia" (English translation: "Burning Patience") by Antonio Skármeta, itself adapted from a 1983 film written and directed by Skármeta, the film tells a fictional story in which the real life Chilean poet Pablo Neruda forms a friendship with a simple Procida postman (Troisi) who learns to love poetry.
The cast includes Troisi, Philippe Noiret, and Maria Grazia Cucinotta. The screenplay was adapted by Radford, Troisi, Anna Pavignano, Furio Scarpelli, and Giacomo Scarpelli."(Wikipedia).
