Later thereâ(TM)s a fragment of a story on the corruption of an opposition party candidate, and we also see the invasion into Ukraine from the Russian stateâ(TM)s perspective. As Pushkin is revered as the father of modern Russian literature, to put Putin alongside him is odious. For example, there is a story talking about why people may expect to see the press be curtailed, because theyâ(TM)re pushing fake stories of an upcoming apocalypse which may drive Russians to drink, and in this sentence referring to the â~people of Pushkin and Putinâ(TM). At different points in the movie we hear snippets of news reports over the radio and TV, and each reveals a little glimmer of authoritarian rule controlling the press. The subtle criticisms of the Russian administration. In the womanâ(TM)s toxic relationship with her own mother, we also see how some of this is passed down by generations. There is such selfishness here, and it spurs the realization that real love requires not only compassion, but some amount of sacrifice. But with the man, we see him confess (at least by not answering the question directly) that heâ(TM)s had many other women along the way, and the woman is so often concerned with her phone and taking selfies, not wondering at all about what her child is doing after school or for dinner. We see that both people are in new relationships which have been going on for some time, and on the surface think, well they are at least capable of love and tenderness under better circumstances. The exploration into love by its absence. My god, I could just sit there and watch these on a loop.
The stunning pictures of the trees and river in winter that start the film. The film can feel like a punch to the gut, but I liked its honesty, as well as a few other things: The scene of him standing behind a door and listening to them not only argue but do so in a way that reveals how little they care for him is heartbreaking.
They act like this poor kid is an inconvenience, which is hard to watch, so beware if this sort of thing is a trigger for you. Itâ(TM)s incredibly bleak and brutal, and itâ(TM)s hard to fathom just how uncaring these parents are. The premise to Loveless is straightforward a boy goes missing as his parents are going through the process of a bitter divorce, and neither is interested in custody of him.
If you ever want to completely reverse gears emotionally, go from watching a Frank Capra movie to one from Andrey Zvyagintsev.
