    Highly abstract movie. Call it a father-son relationship or a political metaphor, but that's not what the movie is all about. What the director pursues is a modern myth of universal significance, so the film deliberately moves the stage from the town to the isolated island, examines the primitive love by stripping away the interpersonal relationship of modern society, and completes this myth through death. But the director clearly made the mistake of breaking away from Russian culture, and the...

    This is a very symbolic allegorical tragic story to tell the most fundamental relationship between father and son, and narrate the rational and cruel world brought by the...

    Political Fables under the Image of Patriarchy

    If he were my dad, I would not accept it; but the dad he played in the film made me like it very much.

    If this movie simply tells the story of the love between father and son, it will not win back a golden lion, because there are so many similar stories, so I don't need to come together. It is...

    Hue, music. The unique facial contours of the Russians. Cold buildings and scenery. It seems that everything is more like a visual work, with religious ideas lurking. The main clue of the movie is the father, and the family relationship itself is the island. The concept of an island should be when...
