Oh my god.This is one of the best Italian movies I have ever watched.I have watched it at least 5 times.Won't mind watching it 50 more times in my life time.My favorite part of the movie: Mario falls in love with a beautiful girl by using the techniques(metaphores) he learned from Neruda.He goes back to Neruda all sad with all the SWEET PAIN love brings to one's life.Neruda tells him there's a cure.And Mario very quickly stops Neruda saying "No...No...I don't want to be cured" If anyone loves Italian movies (just like I do), watch these also: Life is beautiful Johny Stockino Cinema Paradiso Il Monstro (comedy)
