We went to see a very fine movie last night--Postmen of the Mountains, about a Chinese postman whose son is replacing him. They travel by foot through beautiful scenery and little mountain villages. It has the simplicity of a nice documentary, but the relationship between the father and son, and the non-sentimental but impressive devotion to duty, makes it much deeper. In that theme of reunion of Chinese father and son, it reminds me of Shower, but this has less comedy, though some of the same nostalgia. Worth seeing.

It sounds intriguing ... and the sort of thing that will eventually turn up at the university arts cinema, so I shall make a note.
