Postman Blues
Directed by SABU
Produced by TV Tokyo, Nikkatsu Corporation
A darkly comedic crime drama about a bored postman whose mundane life collides with his yakuza past through an old schoolmate, blending humor with the absurdity of their reconnection.
Sawaki is a postman who's not quite thrilled about his boring way of life. But his life is about to change when he delivers mail to his old schoolmate Noguchi, who's now a member of the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia, and just finished cutting his little finger off.
