For the director's debut, Andrei Sarkinsev is impressive. The story deliberately hides the reason why his father did not return home for 12 years, and gives some clues, such as the phone on the road, the street of the pier, and the hiding place under the lighthouse. Things, skilled field survival...

There is such a passage in the book "Second-hand Time".

"Return" is about the relationship between father and son. One day, a father who has not returned home for twelve years suddenly appeared in front of the two children. The two brothers had only a photo of their father when they were very young and traveled with him to a remote island. His father...

The feeling of the film is shocking and brutal, and Andrei Sarkinsev's shots are very similar to Tarkovsky's shots, the passing time and the dreamlike shots.

The director was very reluctant to explain the story, but gave a very simple summary: from mother to father.

For twelve years, there was no...

There is no explanation for the 12 years that my father disappeared, only that he has eaten enough fish, so he stopped eating fish. A metaphor for Soviet politics. This kind of film is like the winter when the train passes through Siberia (I have never taken it, imagined), it is long but makes you...

In the sound effects and picture processing, there is a shadow of Tarkovsky. The background music in the first and second half is brilliant, a fusion of modern synth sounds and classics. It feels a lot like An Zhe's "Landscape in the Fog". They are all looking for something on the road, exploring...

The jumping platform at the beginning of the film lays the groundwork for the end. In the text, the mother and son have lived together for twelve years, but the role of the father suddenly appears, and the mother's expression is indeed very indifferent, without any surprises. The mother and father...

Watching the Russian movie "Return", I felt a bit chilly, a bit cold, and there was a bit of desolation in the soundtrack. After watching this film, the first word that popped into my mind was "adult" or "growing up". Some people say that a man's true adulthood is not when he is 18 years old, not...

Many good movies will have a strong sense of shock when you watch them for the first time, but you can only watch them once, and watch them later, when the freshness is removed, it will become boring. My own experience, the most typical example of "American Beauty", was shocked the first time I...
