      Michael Radford

      Michael RADFORD (1946, India) was born and raised in India and moved to England to study at Oxford. In 1971 he was one of the first 25 students to enroll in the National Film and Television School in London. He made documentaries for the BBC before gaining recognition for the romantic drama Another Time, Another Place (1983). His most well-known and successful film is Il Postino/Il Postino: The Postman (1994), about the friendship between a gentle postman and the famous Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. The film won numerous international awards, including an Oscar for best music, and was – for many years – the highest grossing, non-English-language film ever made.
