If you loved Loveless, try Il ritorno
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Loveless, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Il ritorno 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.
