Norwegian director Pal Sletaune made an auspicious feature film debut with this darkly comic movie about a loser mailman named Roy who gets involved with a murder when he takes an interest in one of the women on his postal route. Roy is an apathetic mailman who dumps much of the mail he's supposed to deliver in a ditch and steals anything that looks interesting. However, Roy is shocked out of his miserable rut when he becomes obsessed with a woman who leaves her apartment keys in her mailbox. As he snoops around her flat, Roy discovers what he believes to be evidence of a robbery and a murder and soon becomes embroiled in the mystery himself. [More]

Reviews for Junk Mail
What sets "Junk Mail" apart from most American comedies is how much of it takes place in silence, as Roy finds himself in slapstick situations reminiscent of Rowan Atkinson's "Mr. Bean."
This Buster Keaton wannabe movie is supposedly a comedy/romance about an inept, morose Oslo mailman, Roy (Skjaerstad).
