Come for the near-endless rows that convincingly carry the venom of a collapsed, resentful marriage; stay for the extended critique of Russia’s contemporary spiritual vacancy.
Expertly executed with a message that will echo in your ears.
Loveless isn’t cheerful viewing at all but it is virtuoso filmmaking from one of the few contemporary directors whose work bears comparison with that of the great auteurs from an older era in arthouse cinema.
Bleak but brilliant.
This is a shocking, compelling portrait of a heartless world, told with a surgeon’s precision.
It’s profoundly uncomfortable viewing: mournful, monstrous and weirdly mesmerising.
A bleak and uncompromising portrait of a broken family unit.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
