Il Postino

I'm still revising and working on music, so I'll just post a scene from one of my favorite movies ever. If you haven't seen it yet, you need to. It's beautiful. Happy Saturday!

  2. I am. Though today I sang a few tracks on a fellow musician's song. It was nice getting out to do that sort of thing again. Hope you're feeling better. Love you xx

  3. It has the same feeling/atmosphere as the two French films 'Manon de Sources' and 'Jean de Florette'. Even the music was similar. My very favourite genre of film.

  4. The man who plays the postman died shortly after making the film. He never got to see it.

    Tom, that's so sad. I just love him in this movie. He's so unaffected, and shy and beautifully meek. It's too bad he couldn't live on to do more films.

  8. This is also one of our favourite films. As a result of seeing it we went on holiday to the Aoelian Islands. They were selling capers all over the place. When we got back home and watched the film again we fell about laughing at the opening post office scene!
