🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The 1997 film expertly walks the tightrope between dark comedy and drama, using an everyday profession as a springboard into the world of absurd crime. The director explores the theme of the little man caught in gears he cannot control, yet maintains a light, almost farcical tone throughout.
What lingers after the credits is an unexpectedly poignant meditation on choice and coincidence, packaged as an eccentric detective story. The ordinary mailbag transforms into a vessel carrying alternate destinies. — MovieFinder Editorial

The muted tones of Tokyo backstreets contrasting with the vivid blue of a uniform; a sense of absurd menace humming beneath daily routines.
