Vozvrashceniye - aka The Return
Probably the most beautiful debut I’ve ever seen. Director Andrei Zvyagintsev’s first movie has two layers, a family drama on the surface and a political criticisim at a deeper level. Both layers are performed poetically and beautifully. Beside my praises the movie also has 28 awards from a variety of festivals. If you didn’t see this before, you may want to. The offical trailer is here.
