    Maybe this movie should have another title called "I Killed My Dad". Ostensibly aligned with the question Dolan's "I Killed My Mom" ​​posed: the bloodline paradox. But Sarkinsev is not a teenager. He transported the "blood of the country" into a small family relationship, and then expanded and extended the "paradox of blood" into an allegorical thinking through a solid narrative. Such a concept is obviously a master 's pen. It's a triumph of utter film...

    8.0 is an almost perfect debut, and the half-hour ending is like a master possessed. A cruel poem about father and son, about the Russian nation. Sarkinsev loves the sea as much as I do - only this blue cold sea belongs only to...

    "Father must die" is when I was at the Guangzhou Yunshang Film Festival. During the post-screening discussion, I was asked about my father's attitude when he died, which was completely unexpected, but reasonable. As a superficial family story, I feel pity and sympathy...

    Human relationships are built on witness and guidance

    Director Andrei Zhivakintsev left only one answer to the media's questions after winning various awards:

    It is not a simple father-son relationship. To a large extent, it looks at life from a mythological perspective, and everything has its meaning. "

    1. The meaning of the theme
