Nelyubov is an intellectual Russian film about two divorcing parents who ignore their son so hard he runs away and disappears. What seems to be a police procedural on the surface is really a metaphor for the satellite USSR countries after the breakup. How do I know it's intellectual? SPOILER: Because it has no ending. This film isn't for everybody--like me, for example. Loveless is like procrastination porn starring a man with a 20-inch penis: it takes too long to get interesting and is far longer than it needs to be. NOTE: This is Russia's entry for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars (2018); and intellectual viewers will certainly appreciate this film far more than I. It does have some wonderful cinematography and there's a slow burn tension heightened by rich soundscapes that will appeal to viewers with more discerning taste.

Though maybe not as ambitious as _Leviathan_, Zvyagintsev uses a lot of similar elements here that made that film special. Lots of subtle, detailed acting, grim cinematography with some interesting use of dark blue and purple and a layered plot with ideas about the culture and politics of modern Russia. I do wish he dug a little deeper though, because while I like how he explores this idea of (generational) selfishness, his observations are a bit too safe. The character arcs wrap up in an unexpected and interesting way, but there’s not a lot to read into there. Also, while there’s a lot to admire on a technical level, he tends to linger on shots for longer than necessary. Besides that, this is a very compelling drama with strong characters, a depressing atmosphere and excellent visuals. 7.5/10

Following Leviathan, Zvyagintsev doesn't lower the bar with Loveless. Slow scenes (mostly of Russia's winter scenery), in contrast to fast and harsh dialogues, leads us to a multi-layered plot that starts with an ending marriage and ends with a missing son. In the middle, there are some wond More
