Globetrotting veteran director Konchalovsky returns to his home turf for this humorous, rueful, and occasionally surreal slice of rural life. Taking place over a few summer days, the film follows Lyokha, a postman who serves an aging community of island dwellers in a remote corner of northwestern Russia. The Postman’s White Nights is a leisurely yet eventful tale filled with ravishing imagery and the natural appeal of mostly nonprofessional actors.
