Father & Son
Original Title
Otets i Syn- Director: Aleksandr Sokurov
- Writer: Sergei Potepalov
- Producer: Fernando Centeio; Roberto Cicutto
CGiii Comment
An atmospheric study of a son's love for his father and vice versa.
Slow, painful - and, thankfully, stays away from being wholly disturbing, just.
If there are any blanks, Sokurov lets the viewer film then in for themselves - a difficult approach...but, it works like a dream and this film has dreamlike qualities.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
A father and his son live together in a roof-top apartment. They have lived alone for years in their own private world, full of memories and daily rites. Sometimes they seem like brothers. Sometimes even like lovers. Following in his father's path, Aleksei attends military school. He likes sports, tends to be irresponsible and has problems with his girlfriend. She is jealous of Aleksei's close relationship with his father. Despite knowing that all sons must one day live their own lives, Aleksei is conflicted; his father knows he should accept a better job in another city, perhaps search for a new wife, but who will ease the pain of Aleksei's nightmares?
