One doesn't have to be brilliant to understand Andrei Zvyagintsev's movies, still one must be very flexible with his own cultural background if interested to comprehend the images Zvyagintsev makes use of. So, my vote (10) goes especially for this aspect, with a minimal astriction for the screenplay, slightly overexposed. Altogether, the director proved he is able to move to different fields.
After The Return, I expected to see another close-to-Tarkovski picture, but it's not the case. Izgnanie rebuilds other spaces (think of the affinity for the Flemish and the Dutch painters, even if somehow altered in the old Russian manner) and distributes along the images a new and equally strong despondency. The images are just superb, with hundreds of important details in need to be discussed. My feeling is that nothing goes for the characters as they are continuously overwritten by their own disability to surpass the air they themselves have exhaled.
A must see
