In the cold and warm Russian land, they are looking for the hope of returning.
The patriarchal
fable in rebellion and reconciliation is a metaphor for the mental state of the Russians. The
blue-gray, green tones are

first of all the pictures of the movie that deeply attracted me. Sadness The melancholic tone, every shot is worthy of taste. The director is obviously very confident, the plot of the movie is calm, and the meaning is cryptic and deep. The movie often uses a one- or two-minute stop shot. The soundtrack of the entire film only appears in the climax one minute. Inside, except for the sound of pouring rain and the roar of motors, there is silence. The scenes of the film are mostly in the suburbs, and the scenery is beautiful and intriguing. The red car and the cool tones are in sharp contrast, which is obviously easy to make people. Reminiscent of the sharp contrast between the little girl in red and the dark background in . The most memorable scene is when the child's father leaves them forever and sinks to the bottom of the sea, the child shouts "Dad, Dad" hysterically It was the original reluctance to obey his father, and even threatened to kill his child. The film’s portrayal of the relationship between father and son reminded people of another similar film in Russia, "The Thief". But it was "Return". In terms of its content, its theme is clearly beyond the scope of family affection. In the film, the father is endowed with an image of God, just like the suffering Jesus Christ, violence and tenderness coexist. The father's appearance and exit are in perfect harmony." The theme of "return". What's more commendable in this film is the replay of a set of black and white photos at the end of the film, and finally stopped on a picture of the two children and their father and mother when they were young, making the whole film also a perfect one." "Return".
In addition, the director of this film and the director of "Ivan's Childhood" have a good story. The actor who played Andre in the film drowned near the same island a year after the filming ended. This is another film It has a fateful smell.
