Movie Haiku:Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (Noiret), exiled because of his left-wing politics, retreats to a small Italian island & completely changes the life of the lonely young man (Troisi) who brings his daily mail. Radford’s luminous images plus Bacalov's Oscar-winning soundtrack capture the rich emotions of this poignant, heart-felt story.
