This 17-minute short film "Envelope" was written and directed by Aleksey and stars Kevin Spacey as a man who has written letters to invented addresses everywhere around the world. This way he came up with a giant collection of dead letter each having stamps of the respective countries they went to. Now the last piece missing is New Zealand. He makes up an address, names and a reason to write the letter (the death of an uncle) and sends it away. Spacey gives a good performance and plays a really strange character here, especially looking at his interactions with the postman. Quickly afterward, things get political and he is suspected of illegal interaction with foreign secret services. Are they right? Or is it just a hobby of his. And what if it is a hobby? Is it sad, funny or just as different as everybody else of us is? Make it up for yourself.
I thought the first half of the film was very good, the second half when it gets more political I have to say I was not too fond of, just like the plane crash about to happen (can't really foresee it). Nonetheless, I recommend watching "Envelope" and it is a must-see for fans of Spacey or the TV series "Justfied" because of David Meunier.
