Postcards

About This Movie

Postcards is a curious little film from 1990 that explores the emotional distance of a couple through their exchanged postcards. The tone is bittersweet, with this interesting juxtaposition of vibrant American landscapes against the fading connection of its leads. There’s a slow, almost languid pacing that lets the tension build and gives way to some poignant moments. The performances are subtle, capturing the sense of longing and miscommunication beautifully. It’s not flashy, but rather quiet in its approach, relying on the charm of the postmarked images to tell its story. A unique take on love lost, and while it may not have made waves in mainstream circles, it definitely has its own distinct appeal.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, with some VHS copies floating around but very few DVDs or Blu-rays. Its rarity adds to the allure for collectors, especially those interested in lesser-known romance films from the late '80s and early '90s. There’s a niche interest in its themes of communication and distance, making it an interesting find for those who appreciate films that delve into the nuances of relationships.
