Synopsis "El Cartero de Neruda (in Spanish)"

Dirigida por Rodrigo Sepúlveda, llega a NETFLIX una nueva versión cinematográfica de la aclamada novela. La insólita amistad entre un sencillo cartero y el gran poeta Pablo Neruda: el mutuo deslumbramiento por la libertad y la creación.El cartero de Neruda, traducida a veinticinco idiomas, es ya un clásico de las letras universales. Situada en los años que precedieron a la dictadura de Pinochet, este libro estableció la reputación de Antonio Skármeta como uno de los autores más representativos de en América Latina, y sirvió como inspiración para la película ganadora del Oscar Il Postino. Mario Jiménez, un joven pescador, decide abandonar su oficio para convertirse en cartero de Isla Negra, donde la única persona que recibe y envía correspondencia es el poeta Pablo Neruda. Jiménes admira a Neruda y espera pacientemente que algún día el poeta le dedique un libro, o que se produzca algo más que un brevísimo cruce de palabras y el pago de la propina. Su anhelo se verá finalmente recompensado y entre ambos se entablará una relación muy peculiar. Sin embargo, la enrarecida atmósfera que se vive en el Chile de aquellos años precipitará un dramático descenlace. "Un canto emocionante a la poesía y al amor en sus más contundentes y jocundas expresiones de vitalidad" --Miguel García-Posada, Babelia "Una joya de historia" --The New Yorker ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Directed by Rodrigo Sepúlveda, NETFLIX has produced in 2022 a new cinematographic version of this novel. The unforgettable inspiration for the Academy Award-winning Il Postino, this classic novel established Antonio Skármeta's reputation as "one of the most representative authors of the post-boom generation in contemporary Latin American letters" Christian Science Monitor. Boisterously funny and passionate, The Postman tells of young love ignited by the poetry of Pablo Neruda.
