Junk Mail Trailers

Dimwitted, somewhat misanthropic Oslo mail carrier Roy's quiet life changes dramatically on the day he steals a set of keys and lets himself into the apartment of a deaf woman who seems to be in trouble with a psychotic criminal. Though he doesn't know it at the time, his and her fate are about to intertwine and this is not going to be to his benefit.

Reviews
Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
ft-5 i'm glad there are a lot of other commentaries this frees me from telling too much about the story. it is about a postman who read the letters he's supposed to deliver and eventually even throws them away. suddenly he finds himself in the middle of a absurd and even a little dangerous story. but in my opinion just needs this story to talk about the relations between people. and what makes this movie so special is the fact that it actually not just shows pictures and sequences you've seen a hundred-times before.it really has, i can't put it differently, respect for its personal.this means that the persons keep their own personality for the whole absurd-tragic story of the movie.
DonConore The Dutch TV guide gave this the "Film of the Day" title and appropriately so. They also described the main character as a cross between the postmen from "Il Postino" and Bukowski's "Post Office". That description cannot be improved upon. Dark, tense, funny, fresh.
oclv-1 would like to tell you that the movie is categorized as IIB and shown at Cine-Art House only. film title "Junk Mail" is used instead of 'Budbringeren';selling points of this feature on local paper included Cannes Festival, Sundance, Oscar best foreign film nomination.
Jabla This has to be the best norweagian movie for many years. The carachters are great, the athmosphere is really dark, like in the center of town. It really catches Oslo at it's darkest, things that we really know, but don't really think about. Like how much does your mailman really know about you? It's a fun movie as well, see it!!
