The Postman

Ali is a poor young man who works as a mail courier. He gets an opportunity to work for a wealthy family in Casablanca. Filled with hope and energy, Ali tries to start his new life — until things take a turn for the worse when he and his employer’s daughter are kidnapped by a gang.

Directed by Hakim Noury, The Postman leans on a strong ensemble — Aziz Saâdallah — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1980.
