Every so often you come across a film which makes you wonder about the movie business. How is it that so fine a film as this fails to achieve national distribution in the United States? Beats me, for this film is truly, truly wonderful. It’s small masterpiece, elegant in its simplicity. POSTMEN IN THE MOUNTAIN concerns a father who, now aging, must perforce turn over his mail route to his son. The father, accompanied by the loyal family dog, has walked his route for decades, a route up and down the mountainous terrain of Hunan province. The photography does full justice to the ravishingly beautiful terrain. Father and dog accompany the son on his first, literal, walk-through. In the process the son learns how important human contact is and that a man’s soul and his work are inseparable. Equally important, father and son are finally able to express their love for another. I thought my heart would break. I’ll have to add this one to my video library. ~ Nick Salerno.
