The Postman’s White Nights
Written by Elena Kiseleva and Andrey Konchalovskiy
Directed by Andrey Konchalovskiy
Russia, 2014
Set on the beautiful, densely wooded shores of Lake Kenozero in northern Russia, Andrey Konchalovskiy’s The Postman’s White Nights, winner of the Silver Lion at last year’s Venice International Film Festival, is an offbeat exploration of small town life through the eyes of the titular postman Lyokha (Aleksey Tyrapitsyn), whose job creates the sole tenuous link between the insular village and the outside world. Relying on a cast comprising non-actors, the fictional narrative is a triumph of verisimilitude that spins a delicate web of intimacy and levity by capturing fleeting moments and small gestures.
In his habitual uniform of camo, black galoshes and large satchel, Lyokha crosses the lake each day by boat, picking up mail and other necessities to deliver to his neighbors.
