CINEMA in the TOWN HALL
Phyllis Logan,
Giovanni Mauriello, Denise Coffey, Tom Watson, Gregor Fisher
During the war in 1944,
three Italian prisoners of war arrive in an isolated community in the Black
Isle to help with the farming. Ignored by the locals, worried about families at
home, miserable in the Scottish climate, they are finally befriended by a
cowman's wife (Phyllis Logan). The film explores what happens to a community
when people of a different culture are forced to live and work among them.
Michael Radford's 1996 Oscar nomination for Best Director and Best Screenplay
for Il Postino later established him as one of
the most important British film directors of his generation.
