Description
Two teenage Russian boys have their father return home suddenly after being absent for 12 years. The father takes the boys on a holiday to a remote island on a lake in the north of Russia that turns into a test of manhood of almost mythic proportions.

Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festvial and numerous other accolades, The Return is the debut feature from Andrey Zvyaginstev and stars the talented Ivan Dobranravov as Vanya, Konstantin Lavronenko as the father, with Andrey played by Vladimir Garin, who has since tragically drowned in the lake where the film was shot.

This is a minimalist masterpiece with mystical overtones, enhanced by Mikhail Kritchman's cinematography – it was shot in the St Petersburg region of Northern Russia where the sun never sets during summer. With crucial secrets deliberately not revealed, and the thriller plot developments stripped back from the traditional hype and realised naturalistically, The Return surprises and tantalises. A very impressive film.
