The unique strength, coldness, and heavy beauty of Russian movies are the greatest experience that movie watching brings to me.
Two boys who have lost their father's love for 12 years, one obedient and obedient, the other rebellious, embark on a arduous journey of isolation after their father "returns". The conflict between the father's power and the son's rebellion has intensified time and time again. It is the interweaving of love and hate, the questioning of the soul in tears, and the inexplicable father-son relationship.
"There is no hatred, but a father and son", each other's blood is thicker than water, but they can't really enter each other's inner world. The father thinks that his harshness is the only way to make a man, but he has no intention of hurting the boy's identity and psychological needs, resulting in an irreversible tragedy.
The ending of the story is cruel, the most tear-jerking is the heart-piercing cry of the little boy to the boat that was drifting away on the vast sea carrying his father...
The lens language of the film is cold and dignified, mainly in gray-blue tones, giving people a sense of vastness and sadness.
The characters are full and delicate, and the plot twists and turns are bizarre but logical, which is enough to show that the director's skill is extraordinary.
This is a film that cannot be easily classified, and it is difficult to describe it in a single word. Let the viewers experience it individually!
