The Return

Andrei Zvyagintsev's debut is a heartbreaking film about two very different brothers who go on a road trip with their father who has returned after a long absence. The brothers become closer while trying to figure out their enigmatic father. It's a universal tale of feuding brothers, absent fathers and coming of age. At the center and heart of the film are the fantastic performances of the two young boys that makes it stand out among the other films of its kind. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.

yes, one of the best films i have ever seen - what more heartbreaking when one of the brothers in the film went back to the location to swim but accidentally dived to his death.

I heard about it and makes the film even more tragic. It was one of the films that eluded me for some reason. I'm glad I finally saw it finally.
Thanks for your comment.
