If you loved Leviatán, try El regreso
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev, and they both carry the foreign gem, gut punch, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Leviatán, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El regreso is
Lake shore. Summer. A splash. Two boys receive their long-vanished father. A tense road trip begins, pressing them toward an island. Fishing, camping, and cryptic lessons mix with simmering resentment. Bleakly beautiful debut won at Venice, part of the post-Soviet Russian cinema rediscovery.
