Il Postino

The film had a box office record, gained 5 Oscar nominations and one win for best dramatic score composed by him Bacalov, and also won a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and a Silver Ribbon for best music. IL POSTINO (aka THE POSTMAN) remains a real international success with critics and audiences. A profound and poetic tale made famous by the stunning final interpretation of Massimo Troisi together with Philippe Noiret, in the role of Pablo Neruda, and Maria Grazia Cucinotta. IL POSTINO (aka THE POSTMAN) is oneof the 30 titles of the new Sugar series dedicated to the soundtracks that have made the history of music for films. The CD comes in a completely remastered version with a new graphic look, and it will be released March 13. All the albums of the series are enriched by the words of the film producer and critic Marco Mueller, who is also the director of the most important festivals of the cinema, and he declared: 'The films are the place where music becomes something different because it gained its own role within the whole. Without music films would be amputated of an essential and vital element. When it happened that an important composer has worked together with an important film director, an agreement gushed out between the two strong indipendent personalities, where a great music strengthened a great film and viceversa. The reasoned reproposal of the greatest titles from C.A.M catalogue will try to render account to this part of the adventurous history of the Italian films (and not only Italian). Proposing a shunting line from modern music, an alternative to light music. An whole continent to be ri-discovered'.
