“….eerie thriller of hypnotic, mysterious intensity from Leviathan Director” The Guardian
Somewhere in suburban Moscow, a marriage is in its death throes. Angry, embittered and frustrated, Zhenya (Maryana Spivak) and Boris (Alexey Rozin) have come to the end of their long and toxic road together. Their relationship has soured, however, they are still miserably shackled together in the family apartment until the divorce is finalised. Caught in the middle of this nightmare is their 12-year-old son Alyosha (Matvey Novikov), unsupervised, neglected, and fully aware of his parents’ feelings, one day Alyosha simply disappears without a trace. It falls to his estranged parents to work together and lead a search for the runaway boy, which takes them on a painful journey into their own past.
Loveless is the final film in our RETROSPECTIVE of master filmmaker Zvyagintsev’s works and is a must-see film.
