This wholly enchanting albeit slow-paced Italian-language drama is about a postman who befriends a controversial poet. The poet helps the postman win the woman of his dreams, teaches him the value of Communism, and helps him develop his own poetic skill. The characters are entirely engaging and the actors who portray them are perfect. I doubt I will ever forget this film.
