...Film only review. Il Postino (1994) Director: Michael Radford Stars: Philippe Noiret, Massimo Troisi, Maria Grazia Cucinotta Not to be confused with the wholly inferior Kevin Costner vehicle with the same name (Il Postino means "The Postman" - US title), this charming Italian language film won an Academy Award for Original Music Score and was nominated for five other awards including Best Director, Best Actor (Massimo Troisi) and Best Picture.
