Announced a few months ago, “Someone Down There Loves Me” a new homage docu-film on Massimo Troisi, will be presented at Berlinale. Troisi, who played the simple postman who rides his bicycle on the sandy terrain of an Italian island to deliver mail to his sole client, the Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda, died tragically of congenital heart failure at age 41 in June 1994, the day after “Il Postino” finished shooting at Rome’s Cinecittà studios.
Directed by Mario Martone, this project is a personal journey and a labor of love that the Neapolitan author has made to rediscover the unforgettable “comic of feelings.“
