Join us on Saturday 30th November for a screening of Andrey Zvyagintsev’s “The Return” (2003).

According to The Guardian… “Already The Return seems canonical, as if it has been there all along: an old-fashioned, satisfying piece of storytelling which looks languorously beautiful, while at the same time fastening itself to your attention like the bite of a snake.”

SUMMARY: “Andrey and Ivan are brothers who have been raised alone by their mother. When their father suddenly returns home after vanishing some 12 years earlier, they are both extremely happy to see him back in their lives. Ivan, however, quickly grows suspicious of his father, and determines to find out where exactly his father vanished to all those years ago, and why he suddenly decided to come back into their lives now.” (IMDB)
