"Loveless" is the latest film by Russian director Andrei Sarkinsev. He likes his previous films "Return" and "Leviathan". This "Loveless" ” again won the Jury Prize at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, so it’s certainly a go-to film. After watching it, my mood is very heavy. It is not suitable to watch such a sad and desperate movie on the festive day of the Spring Festival holiday. This time, Sarkinsev's perspective has no political seclusion, no criticism and lashing out, and only concerns about the most basic spiritual needs of human society - love. The husband and wife under the same roof are on the verge of divorce, and they have reached the level of disgust and hatred for each other. For the first time in her life, she experienced true love. However, they all forget about one person: their 12-year-old son, Alyosha, who was supposed to be their most cherished boy, but is now part of a past they both want to get rid of. As the parents cursed each other, the boy could only cry silently by the door, and Sarkinsaif's camera was aimed at the boy's distorted face, magnifying the pain to a horrific level. The advancing plot also tells the audience that in fact, the seemingly vicious wife married and gave birth to a child in order to get rid of the mother who had hurt her, and she, who lacked love, threw the same predicament to her son. Finally one day, Alyosha disappeared, and the husband and wife had to change the focus of their lives and search for the missing son together. Even so, the two continued to quarrel and vent their hatred against each other. Is Alyosha a sacrifice for the death of his parents' marriage or not? It is no longer important to be the catalyst that inspires parental care. From the beginning to the end of the film, people feel the piercing cold delivered by Sarkinsaif. Emotional alienation and indifference are the biggest injuries. A world without love is always covered with snow and cold, and there is no Princess Anna's Frozen. , there are no happy Santas and elves, only endless silence, just like the collapsed world of Alyosha, as the lines in the play say: "There is no love to tell - people can't survive in this form.
