I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
With selfishness and meanness bombarding us in media, it is reassuring to be reminded that magnanimity always acts as a counterbalance. This Bulgarian gem's title is well chosen. The postman is a good man. As one of his poverty-stricken neighbors observes, the measure of a man is his goodness. It is also fitting measure of this movie.
So real and natural. Welcome to the Bulgarian villages, most of them looks exactly like this - no work, no young people, no good life... Tragedy, poverty and misery. Abandoned houses and deserted lands. But there a few remaining people still have a hearts, big hearts and always ready to help with anything! Even to share their slice of bread with you... :'(
