Product description |
THE RETURN - An Andrei Zvyagintsev film In contemporary Russia, young brothers Ivan (the younger one) and Andrey have grown a deep attachment to each other to make up for their fatherless childhood. Both their mother and grandmother live with them. After running home after a fight with each other, the boys are shocked to discover their father has returned after a 12-year absence. With their mother's uneasy blessing, Ivan and Andrey set out on what they believe will be a fishing vacation with him. At first, the boys are ecstatic to be reunited with the father they've only known from a faded photograph, but they soon strain under the weight of their dad's awkward and increasingly brutal efforts to make up for a missing decade of parental supervision. Ivan and Andrey find themselves alternately tested, scolded, scrutinized, and ignored by the man through a changing series of encounters and hardships. Andrey seems to look up to his father while Ivan remains sceptic. As truck stops and cafés give way to rain-swept, primevally beautiful wilderness coastline, Ivan's doubts give way to open defiance. Andrey's powerful need to bond with a father he's never known begins, in turn, to distance him from Ivan. Ivan and his father's test of wills escalate into bitter hostility and sudden violence after the trio arrives at their mysterious island destination.
