What The Return Is About
Andrey Zvyagintsev's 2003 film follows a father who comes home after twelve years. He takes his two sons on a journey. He does not say where they are going. The film never explains his past; the narrative draws its tension from his silence. It won the Golden Lion in Venice. It is the director's first film. The young actor who played the elder son drowned shortly after filming. Who it's for: those who like quiet, symbolic cinema. Who it's not for: viewers expecting explanation; the film answers no question directly.
