Phil Boatwright's Bio

Title: THE POSTMAN
Stars: Massimo Troisi
Distributor: Miramax
Category: Romantic comedy. Italian, with subtitles
Rating: PG
Content: (although two lead characters proclaim to be communists, it is not a political film)
Review: No bad language, no disrespect for the church, no violence, just a gentle story about a meek Italian postman who befriends a renown poet visiting the quaint island. When the postman falls in love with the town beauty, our hero turns to poet for help in winning her over. It is truly a movie about Amore. Don't be turned off by subtitles or poetry. It is a great date video. If you're tired of robotic acting and high-decibel special effects, treat yourselves to this warm, funny, romantic picture. Massimo Troisi, the beloved Italian comic, put off a heart operation to do this film. Sadly, he died the day after completion.
