The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation joins forces with The Friends of Cinema Society for a series of free screenings in the context of Faneromeni21 Arts Festival. Under the general title “Culture Reloaded!”, the Foundation’s courtyard provides a perfect setting for open-air cinema.
«Ιl Postino» (108’), the nostalgic 1994 Italian film starring an unforgettable Massimo Troisi, will be screened next Thursday, 5 August. The film follows the friendship between the young postman Mario Ruoppolo (Troisi) and Chilean communist poet Pablo Neruda (Philippe Noiret). Their improbable friendship grows stronger when Mario enlists the help of the famous intellectual in order to win the heart of Beatrice. The screenplay is based on Antonio Skarmeta’s 1985 novel Ardiente Paciencia, with the difference that the film’s setting is Italy in the 1950s instead of Chile in the 1960s.
“Il Postino” will be screened in Italian with Greek subtitles.
Directed by: Michael Radford
Starring: Massimo Troisi, Philippe Noiret, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Renato Scarpa
