Il Postino premiered at the Venice Film Festival on 1 September 1994 (it was released in the US in June 1995).
Massimo Troisi had purchased the rights to Antonio Skármeta's 1985 novel Ardiente Paciencia (which had been based on Skármeta's 1983 film of the same name) and sent his adaptation to director Michael Radford. Radford was unhappy with the script, and began working on changes with Troisi and Anna Pavignano, who changed many elements of the source material, including shifting the location from Chile to Italy, shifting the timeframe from present to the 1950s, and the protagonist from a teenage fisherman to a middle-aged postman.
Troisi, who had long-standing health issues, postponed heart surgery to star in the film. The 41-year-old died 12 hours after shooting had been completed.
Il Postino was a commercial and critical success, receiving 5 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director (Radford), Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It received the Oscar for Best Original Dramatic Score (Luis Bacalov).
Luis Bacalov (with Rocky Roberts on vocals) - Can Be Done (1972)
I'm digging this song, the title track of the Spaghetti western comedy Si può fare… amigo. The score was written by Luis Bacalov, with Rocky Roberts crooning away, backed by a bunch of kids

Diamanti sporchi di sangue (Blood and Diamonds, 1978)
"That guy had plenty of guts. I felt bad killing him, because I realised what it feels like killing a man worth his salt. It makes your heart ache."

This is one of my favorite captures I’ve gotten while screen grabbing for gifs. It ended up being so exciting!! It also does a great job of showing off the rhythms built into all of these fights--they keep such a good tempo! And then you get to see one of my favorite death scenes ever. It’s like, so... anticlimactic. (The little puttering of blood...)
And actually, the clip goes a little further than the shots I was intending to gif, mainly because I didn’t want to stop watching at the time when this happened. I’m sharing it here so you can enjoy this too!
The movie is The Kid with the Golden Arm (1979), the song is Summertime Killer by Luis Bacalov.
